Johan defended his dissertation in 2022 with the thesis Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Autism Spectrum Disorder: Evaluation of feasibility, effectiveness, and validity of a novel contextual behavioral treatment.

A psychologically sustainable society

The vision of a brainproof and psychologically sustainable society has emerged based on the knowledge that a society that takes into account our human and psychological needs is possible. Today we know much more than ten fifteen years ago how our brain works. We also know what a harmful environment exposes us to. For most people, stress and exhaustion are too familiar. We also know more about brain-related diagnoses, which carry an even higher risk of ill health in people with a diagnosis. The list of areas that are lacking from a brain perspective can be made long. Urban environments with noxious noise levels, workplaces with office landscapes, residential areas without social meeting places, school curricula without regard to brain development, classrooms with inadequate work peace, or lifestyle factors that undermine health and well-being.

At the same time, we should not be overly pessimistic. Everyone who has read Hans Rosling's Factfulness knows that the world has become much better. And is about to get even better. With the help of science we develop new methods that help more and more people. We are getting better at diagnosing and treating diseases and illnesses. And build health. Today there is knowledge and modern methods to adapt society to the way our brain works. And shape the brain to be able to meet the demands of modern society. This is where we, as a competence network, want to be. And take a small step forward for a brainproof and psychologically sustainable society.
