Jan Bergström

I am a clinical psychologist, cognitive behavioural therapist and psychotherapy supervisor (CBT) from Sweden, where I also reside. I hold a PhD in clinical psychology (2010, Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm) and I have worked as a clinical psychologist since 2002, when I finished my master at Uppsala university, Sweden. Between 2002 and 2010 I worked in different psychiatric services in Stockholm specialised in the treatment of depressive and anxiety disorders as well as obsessive-compulsive and related disorders.

Since 2010 I work as an Assistant Professor of Clinical Psychology at the Department of Psychology at Stockholm University, where I am currently Director of Studies of the Postgraduate Psychotherapist Program and Specialist Training Program in Clinical Psychology, as well as Head of the Stockholm University Psychology Clinic. My main research area is exposure-based therapy for anxiety- and obsessive-compulsive disorders as well as digital psychological interventions.

Besides my work at the university, I am clinically active as a psychologist and cognitive behavioural therapist at my own private practice in Stockholm. My main areas of clinical expertise are functional analysis, exposure-based therapy for anxiety- and obsessive-compulsive disorders as well as behavioral interventions for depression and cognitive behavioural couples therapy. I am a member of the Swedish Psychological Association and the Swedish Association of Behaviour Therapy. I speak Swedish, English, French and German and have basic knowledge of Modern Standard Arabic.

I regularly do CBT training and supervision not only in Sweden but also abroad. Since 2012, I have extensive experience of training and supervising a large number of psychologists and psychiatrists in Algeria.
