Adoptee Testimonials of Suffering—Transnational Adoptees and the Issue of Suicidality in Swedish Media Texts, 1988–2025
For well over two decades, quantitative research has repeatedly found that suicide attempts and suicides are up to four times more common among transnational adoptees compared to the general population in Sweden. Even so, the Swedish healthcare sector and society at large have failed to address the vulnerable situation of the more than 60,000 foreign-born adoptees in the country. This qualitative study is the first of its kind and draws on accoun…
A multilingual telephone service for crisis communication with migrant groups
The study protocol has been preregistered on the Open Science Framework (osf.io/rt47j)
What We Don't Speak of
Sweden Finns are one of the five officially recognized national minority groups in Sweden. Approximately 3.6 percent of the total Swedish population are either born in Finland or have at least one Finnish-born parent; however, since Swedish national minority legislation explicitly applies a self-identification principle rather than objective criteria in determining who belongs to a national minority group, this figure might not correspond to the …
Experiences of health informers working with intercultural communication in Stockholm, Sweden during Covid-19
Background During the initial period of the COVID-19 pandemic, it was noted that migrants in Stockholm, Sweden, had a higher risk of contracting the virus and had a higher risk of mortality. In response to this, to provide information to people who did not have Swedish as their native language and therefore had limited access to the latest information and guidelines due to potential language barriers, authorities implemented an intercultural comm…
How to make sense of information about Covid-19 and the vaccine from the authorities? A qualitative study of migrants’ experiences in two Swedish communities
The COVID-19 pandemic highlighted the communication challenges faced by public authorities in reaching all groups in society. The overall aim of this study is to gain an in-depth understanding of the experiences of non-native Swedish speaking residents in two multicultural municipalities in metropolitan Stockholm regarding the reception and understanding of COVID-19 and vaccination information from authorities. In addition, the aim is to identify…
Multiraciality and mental health
The multiracial population has grown substantially across the Global North, with Sweden having one of the largest per capita mixed populations worldwide. Despite this demographic shift, mental healthcare practitioners are often unprepared to address the complex experiences of mixed individuals, who navigate ambiguous racial and ethnic spaces that challenge traditional monolithic categories. We here include transracial adoptees as part of the mixe…
Mental Health Among Sweden Finns
Sweden Finns are one of five officially recognized national minority groups in Sweden. As a group, Sweden Finns have been socioeconomically underprivileged in comparison with the Swedish majority population, and tend to be worse off in terms of somatic health. However, the literature on mental health among Sweden Finns has not previously been systematically appraised. The aim of this scoping review was to synthesize the available evidence on ment…
Transnational adoptees in healthcare
Background: After decades of research output, it is well established that transnational adoptees-i.e., individuals who are placed for adoption outside their country of birth-exhibit an increased risk of various negative mental health outcomes. Even so, there is a lack of suggestions for preventive measures or treatment interventions targeting the transnational adoptee population in the literature. Objective: To explore experiences, opinions, and …
The Cultural Formulation Interview as a clinical tool in the assessment of eating disorders
The CFI can be useful in the assessment of patients with eating disorders and should be further explored as a standard tool in specialist eating disorder services
Opacity, difference and not knowing
Martinican poet, novelist and cultural theorist Édouard Glissant (1928-2011) rejected contemporary simplistic notions of creole hybridity popularised in the 1980s and 1990s in favour of a unique and explicitly antiessentialist construct of Caribbeanness-a form of being that embraces place while shunning any associated ideas of rootednesss. Throughout his work, there is a constant tension between the local and the global, the particular and the un…
Food and Trauma
Much has been written about the multifaceted significance of food and eating from an anthropological perspective; the same can be said about the role of food in collective identity construction and nation building. In contrast, the nexus of food, memory, psychological trauma, and disordered eating has been less explored. The aim of this interdisciplinary article is to synthesize available knowledge on this topic by engaging with research literatu…
Could the DSM-5 Cultural Formulation Interview Hold Therapeutic Potential? Suggestions for Further Exploration and Adaptation Within a Framework of Therapeutic Assessment
The Cultural Formulation Interview (CFI), included in the fifth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders , is a person-centered instrument for systematically appraising the impact of cultural factors in psychiatric assessment. A number of key areas in the future development of the CFI have been identified in order to ensure further clinical uptake. In this paper, we suggest that applying a Therapeutic Assessment (TA) a…
Body image perception, smoking, alcohol use, indoor tanning, and disordered eating in young and middle-aged adults
Overall, the patterns differ substantially from what has previously been found in adolescent and young adult samples, indicating that the synergy and aggregation of risk behaviors observed among younger individuals may not apply to adults aged 30-66
Mukbang and Disordered Eating
Mukbang is a recent Internet phenomenon in which video recordings of hosts eating large amounts of food are streamed on an online video platform. It originated in South Korea around 2014 and has since become a global trend. The aim of this study was to explore how viewers of mukbang videos relate their audience experiences to symptoms of disordered eating. A qualitative analysis of YouTube comments and Reddit posts on the topic of mukbang and dis…
Eggs, sugar, grated bones
In 1913, eccentric French composer Erik Satie wrote a fragmentary, diary-like essay where he depicted a strikingly rigid diet consisting solely of white foods: eggs, sugar, coconuts, rice, cream cheese, fuchsia juice and so on. Satie's brief essay has later been used as one of many puzzle pieces in attempts to retrospectively diagnose him with autism spectrum disorder. With Satie's white meal as a starting point, this paper explores colour-based …
René Girard and the Mimetic Nature of Eating Disorders
French historian and literary critic René Girard (1923-2015), most widely known for the concepts of mimetic desire and scapegoating, also engaged in the discussion of the surge of eating disorders in his 1996 essay Eating Disorders and Mimetic Desire. This article explores Girard's ideas on the mimetic nature and origin of eating disorders from a clinical psychiatric perspective and contextualizes them within the field of eating disorders researc…
