Peter Andiné is now professor of forensic psychiatry

Congratulations to Peter Andiné, who is now a professor of forensic psychiatry, combined with a position as chief physician at Sahlgrenska University Hospital. Peter Andiné works at the Center for Ethics, Law and Mental Health (CELAM) and leads the research group Forensic Psychiatry Gothenburg. He works with evidence-based forensic psychiatric methods with a focus on brain health, cognitive functions and metabolic syndrome. Forensic psychiatry as a subject is in great need of evidence from randomized and controlled treatment studies, something that is difficult to implement in healthcare units for compulsory care. Peter Andiné is vice-chairman of the teacher proposal committee, scientific council at the National Board of Health and Welfare, chairman of the Swedish Forensic Psychiatry Association and leads the work of organizing the first national forensic psychiatry conference in Gothenburg in August 2023.
