Growing superdiverse, growing apart-Modes of incorporation of international migrants in rural areas
This article analyses the perceived impact of international migration on host rural communities from the perspectives of local stakeholders. Based on in-depth interviews conducted in two rural locales in Norway, we identify a consensus about the indispensability of international labour migrants for the demographic and economic sustenance of the host rural communities. At the same time, the perspectives of stakeholders convey a complex picture of …
Today in Light of Yesterday
Child protection workers are routinely faced with emotionally intense work, both personally and vicariously through the traumatic narratives and experiences of parents and children. What remains largely unknown is how child protection workers’ own childhood memories might influence the manner in which they experience and are affected by those narratives. The aim of this explorative study was to use Interpretive Phenomenological Analysis as a rese…

Psychoanalysis, Socioanalysis, and Social Work
Understanding and supporting a person-in-environment (PIE) have been a center for social work practice (Kondrat, 2013). Psychoanalysis and psychodynamic approaches have contributed to our understan
Psychodynamic Analysis of Racialized Interactions
Understanding unconscious dynamics of racism is essential to considering some of the challenges inherent in providing therapeutic services when differences abound. Beyond ideas of cultural competency, this paper theoretically explores the possible dynamic interactions that occur below the surface of conscious efforts to help. Using the film Get Out as a case study, concepts of consciousness, double-consciousness, projection, projective identifica…

The story of Lucy
This article provides an extended case example highlighting the value of a supportive approach to practice, in addition to the importance of holding a psychodynamic developmental frame of reference. Concepts of repetition compulsion, the holding environment, and object constancy are applied to the clinical material. The case is underscored for its value as a teaching tool
Jakten på eksellens – en trussel mot forskningsfriheteni akademia
EU har gjort utdanning til et felles politisk spørsmål. Dette har resultert i en politikk for samkjøring av høyere utdanning i Europa og anbefalinger om hvordan universitetene burde organiseres for å gjøre dem konkurransedyktige i et europeisk kunnskapsmarked. Ifølge OECD burde universitetene bruke ressursene strategisk for å skape internasjonalt fremragende forskning og utdanning. Inspirert av New Public Management anbefalte OECD å fristille uni…
In the Line of Duty
Consider the following example: A dark-skinned, female hospital technician was called to take a blood sample from a newborn. When she entered the room, the infant's mother visibly recoiled, clutching her baby more tightly, and exclaimed, “I don't want you touching my baby!” Witnessing the situation were a white social worker and a white nurse. The nurse quickly responded, “That's OK, I'll hold the baby while you draw the blood.” In anger, the tec…
From Collegial Organization to Strategic Management of Resources
The article looks into the consequences for recruitment of Organisation for Economic Co-Operation and Development's recommendations that universities should manage their resources strategically to foster excellence. Using institutional ethnography as described by Dorothy Smith in a sociology department in Norway, it shows how strategic recruiting for excellence resulted in nominating candidates who were not able to teach the sociology program. Op…
Safety in the Classroom
This article challenges the normative and prescriptive constructs of classroom “safety.” It urges social work educators to reexamine its meaning and the potential differential experience of safety for students from marginalized groups and less privileged social locations. Shifting our conceptual awareness in this sense provides instructors with a more realistic framework to respond proactively, and at times, in the moment, to classroom dynamics
The Use of Emotions in Social Work Education
The role of emotions, although central to social work practice, has been relatively neglected in the process of teaching and learning social work. This article explores how social work educators can incorporate an understanding of the role of emotions in both the teaching and practice of social work. Attention is drawn toward evolutionary and developmental perspectives, emotional regulation, and the current treatment of emotions in the educationa…
Beneath the Surface
This article explores the potential neurobiological alterations in clinicians who are exposed to the traumatic experiences of their clients. The authors speculate on the role of mirror neurons, the autonomic nervous system, the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems, the amygdala, the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, memory, and the left and right hemispheres. A view of these neurobiological processes is integrated with psychodynamic psychot…
Masculinities, Work, and Retirement Among Older Men Who Experience Depression
The high incidence of depression among older men has been linked to numerous factors. In this qualitative descriptive study of 30 older, Canadian-based men who experienced depression, we explored the connections between participants' depression, masculinities, work, and retirement. Our analyses revealed three thematic findings. The recursive relationship between depression and work was reflected in depression impeding and emerging from paid work,…

A Contemporary Kleinian Contribution to Understanding Racism
This article applies a contemporary Kleinian understanding to the problem of racism and, in particular, to microaggressions. The article contributes to the social work literature on racism by (1) moving closer to an explanatory model of the relation between the social and the psyche; (2) adding depth and structure to the concept of unconscious racism; and (3) highlighting a range of Kleinian concepts, such as projection, projective identification…
A Fine Balance
This paper explores the issue of the instructor's self-disclosure within a classroom. Theoretically, the paper offers a broad relational framework from which we discuss dynamics regarding the instructor's inevitable use of self-disclosure and its impact on the student-instructor relationship and the learning process. Further, we survey the literature from the clinical and supervisory domains for relevant ideas. We recommend that instructors judic…
Resurrecting Erich Fromm
Erich Fromm (1900–1980 Fromm, E. 1980. Greatness and limitations of Freud's thought, London: Jonathan Cape. [Google Scholar]) was once a world‐famous psychoanalyst and sociologist. His writings, spanning six decades, placed him among the most prolific and well‐known analysts of his generation. In this paper, we outline Fromm's major themes and theoretical contributions. His unique attempts to synthesize depth psychology and a critical perspective…
No Refuge
This exploratory survey examined the dreams, nightmares, and sleep patterns of 30 women who were dealing with relationship violence. The sample of women was taken from two transition homes and a family counseling center. The findings indicate that 50% of the sample experienced nightmares on a weekly basis. Some of the dream images included drowning, being chased, being killed, or killing others. Slightly more than half (56%) experienced a recurri…

Between Endless Needs and Limited Resources
One of the strategies of the modernization of public services is the decentralization of responsibilities and organizing work in autonomous co‐ operative teams with varied tasks. The empowerment of the public service workers in the front line is therefore a strategy in local government in Norway today. Under the assumption that women have ‘natural’ skills in caring, workers on the lowest levels are given responsibility for care and nursing. A stu…

The relevance of contemporary psychodynamic theories to teaching social work
Teaching and learning social work occurs within the context of relationships whereby instructors and students mutually learn with and from one another. This paper explores the relevance of contemporary psychoanalytic theories, specifically self psychology, intersubjectivity theory and relational theory, to teaching social work. The application of these theories reveals the need for instructors to attend to context, mutual and reciprocal interacti…
Women's Careers in Static and Dynamic Organizations
This article presents a study of women graduate engineers entering male-dominated organizations and management positions. The individual perspective used in most of the previous studies in the Women in Management tradition is criticized and a structural approach to gender and organization is developed. The main data come from case studies in six large Norwegian companies where pairs of comparable male and female graduate engineers were selected. …

Corporate Strategy and Gendered Professional Identities
Will decentralization of responsibilities in services give women service workers at the lower levels of the organization better and more ‘professional’ jobs and a recognition of their importance in the organization? This article looks at the valuation of so‐called women's skills in services in reorganization processes involving dehierarchization and decentralization of responsibilities. Through four cases of reorganized private and public service…

Organisationen en arena för olika uttryck av kvinnlighet och manlighet
När kvinnliga civilingenjörer kommer in i en organisation startar en könsstrukturerande process. I statiska hierarkier finns skeptiska men samtidigt beskyddande kavaljerer samt konkurrenter som känner sig hotade av kvinnorna. Kamrater och framgångsrika kometer finner sig tillrätta i dynamiska nätverk där både kvinnor och män kan få makt och inflytande

Internet og multimedia - avmaskuliniseringav IT
When computer technology changes from technology of calculation to the use of text and images in communication, more girls are interested. Girls use computers for at variety of tasks: for writing letters and notes, for chatting on the Internet, for retrieving information for their schoolwork, and for presenting their projects, using graphs and pictures. They are, however, not keen on studying computing, because they are not interested in the tech…
Poetic truths and clinical reality
This article examines the use of metaphors by both client and therapist within psychotherapy. How metaphors are generated, experienced, and used within therapy is only beginning to be understood. By comparing the use of metaphors by client‐therapist dyads including both nonborderline and borderline clients, the use and experience of metaphor across these groups is examined in a formulative manner. Four client‐therapist dyads are examined in detai…
