Suicide prevention

Stallman developed the world's first consumer-centred approach to supporting people who were upset or who had suicidal thoughts, Care Collaborate Connect.[7][8]

Health theory of coping

The health theory of coping overcame limitations of previous coping theories by designating categories that were conceptually clear, mutually exclusive, comprehensive, functionally homogenous, functionally distinct, generative and flexible.[9] Its major differences are that it recognises that all coping reactions as being adaptive and functional that may initially reduce distress. Coping strategies are classified as either healthy or unhealthy, depending on their likelihood of additional adverse consequences.

Sleepwalking

Stallman led a series of studies understanding the science of sleepwalking including the prevalence,[10] treatments,[11] medication-induced sleepwalking[12] and violence during sleepwalking.[13] Stallman summarised guidelines for the assessment and treatment of sleepwalking in general practice[14]
