Teaching
I teach medical students and residents in psychiatry. During the last years, my main interest in teaching has been psychotherapy. I am the leader of the psychotherapy training for residents in psychiatry and adolescent psychiatry at the university of Turku.
Research
My earliest interest in research was orthostatic hypotension in the field of geriatrics. Later on, after specializing in psychiatry, my research topics have been depression, psychosomatics and early psychosis.
