About Jesper Lundgren

Background: I have been the head of the Academy of music and drama since August 2023, previously holding a similar position at the Department of Psychology at University 91̽»¨ from 2014 to 2020. I obtained a psychology degree in 1998 and a Ph.D. in psychology, becoming an associate professor in 2013. Music has been a constant companion, and since 2011, I have been a member of the Vocal Art Ensemble of Sweden.

Research: My research was initially focused on adult dental phobia, exploring causes and treatment effectiveness, and later expanded to include adolescents. The research interests span health psychology, encompassing dental care, pain, and lifestyle-related diseases like asthma and diabetes. Currently, I am involved as supervisor in a doctoral project about comorbidity’s impact on anxiety and depression treatment.
