Research
My research has developed from relational frame theory, cognitive defusion and ACT towards intervention research, psychometric evaluation and individualized process measurement. Brief scales and item pools are developed as a basis for repeated measurement in daily life. The aim is to test how processes vary within persons over time and how such data can support treatment decisions.
