Senior Lecturer
School of Public Health and CommunityAbout Monica Bertilsson
I am a PhD, senior lecturer in Public Health and a registered occupational therapist with extensive experience from psychiatric rehabilitation. My main research area is common mental disorders (CMD), work capacity, work place and managerial involvement and return to work after sickness absence. My PhD thesis was about Work capacity and mental health – the phenomena and their importance in return to work (2013).
I am a member of the research program New Ways – mental health at work, aiming for new knowledge that will strengthen capacity in work life to support persons with CMD to keep their capacity to work and to contribute to a better competence in the health care to identify and treat patients with CMD and risk of sickness absence.
