Short presentation

From an empirical and a theoretical perspective I study processes of understanding in interaction. In particular, I'm interested in the processes related to interactants' understanding of their own and each others mental states.

Current research

• Understanding depression. A study og GP's and psychiatrists understandings.
• Mentalizing in residental care. An intervention study from a residential institution.
  
  

Primary fields of research

• Understanding and challenged understanding
• Mentalization theory
• Identifying mentalizing processes through interaction analytic methods
• Emotions in interaction
• Reciliens
• Doctor-patient interation
• Interaction between young people in residental care and their care givers
• Psychodynamic theory and interaction analysis
