About

Robert Johansson, PhD, is an associate professor of psychology at Stockholm University, and a researcher in computer science at Linköping University. He is also a licensed psychologist with a special interest in emotion-focused psychotherapy. In his earlier work, he and his colleagues developed a model of affect-focused psychotherapy that enabled it to be delivered as guided self- help through the Internet. The effectiveness of the model has been proven in several clinical trials. Currently, he is working in the field of artificial intelligence, where he studies clinically relevant psychological processes in machines. He is passionate about abstract models of the human mind, Lisp programming, psychodynamic psychotherapy, and meditation in the Samatha-Vipassana tradition.
