About Daniel Ståhl

I am a social worker, licensed healthcare counselor, and hold a Ph.D. in social work. In the fall of 2025, I defended my dissertation, "I skärningspunkten mellan kropp och samhälle – Multipel skleros och funktionshinder [At the intersection of body and society – Multiple sclerosis and disability,]” which deals with disability in relation to persons living with multiple sclerosis (MS), one of the most common neurological diseases in Sweden. In the thesis, disability is understood as involving an interaction between bodily aspects and the social environment. The overall aim of the thesis was to investigate and analyze disability as a social problem, related to a lack of social inclusion, in relation to persons with MS. The thesis is available via a link under the Publications tab.

My research interests mainly include disability and the work of health social workers. I am currently conducting research within the framework of a Forte-funded project together with Anna Dunér and Karin Törnbom (both at the Department of Social Work, GU), where we are conducting a scoping review focusing on interventions to promote mental health and well-being for nursing home residents.

I teach various parts of the social work program [socionomprogrammet] and the Master of Science in Health Care Counselling [hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorsprogrammet].
