He has a background as a senior lecturer in psychology at Örebro University. In 2001, he served as a research manager and later as a research director, both at the Centre for Habilitation Research at Region Örebro County.

Currently, he conducts research in three overlapping research areas: disability and health, quality in psychiatric care and emotional communication and emotional regulation.
