Nedan följer en kort beskrivning av innehållet (ur baksidestexten):

This doctoral thesis addresses the pervasive issue of psychological suffering, underscoring the high prevalence of and common comorbidity between mental disorders. Despite the undeniable efficacy of psychological treatments in alleviating suffering, a significant proportion of individuals fail to benefit from evidence-based approaches. Research on treatments for people who meet criteria for several disorders is scarce and current evidence-based treatment approaches still tends to target and or be evaluated on delimited disorders. This raises the question of how to address heterogeneous psychological suffering.
Acknowledging the multitude of angles and paths available for evaluating and developing psychological treatments, the overarching goal of this dissertation is to explore and evaluate novel treatment approaches in populations with heterogeneous psychological suffering. By bridging the gap between nomothetic designs, disorder-based treatments, and the emerging wave of idiographic designs and process-based treatment approaches, this thesis also aims to explore some of the scientific dilemmas that arise from developing and evaluating psychological treatments in a predominantly psychiatric paradigm.
