Enabling Fuzziness
People’s stories about recovery include interactions with professionals. What happened in these situations? Seven situations were analysed using an abductive approach. Enabling situations seem to be characterised by their fuzziness regarding the place they occur, the time spent, the role of doings and the reciprocal interaction between the participants, resulting in a loss of balance, challenging their sense of self, professional settings and kno…
The significance of reflexive negotiation in networks - Networks and meaning in people with mental health and/or substance-use challenges
People with mental health or substance abuse problems often face social difficulties. At the same time, research highlights the importance of social factors as determinants of mental health. These phenomena are distinct yet intertwined. Looking for explanations in health and social factors may seem complex but raises questions about linkages between actor and structure. In this study we aim to circumvent what we believe to be simplifications when…
Micropolitics of Mental Health Recovery
Mental health recovery takes place in a social and material world. However, socio-material contexts have often been absent from recovery studies. The present study was conducted in Norway, a Scandinavian welfare country. We interviewed people at meeting places who had experiences as service users, focusing on their experiences of becoming well, and analyzed their recovery stories using an assemblage framework. Our analysis identified four constit…
A qualitative fallacy
This paper points out some problematic aspects of qualitative research based on interviews and uses examples from mental health. The narrative approach is explored while inquiring if the reality of life here is forced into the formula of a chronological story. The hermeneutic approach, in general, is also examined, and we ask if the reality of life in this scenario becomes caught up in a web of interpretations. Inspired by ideas from Bakhtin and …
You realise you are better when you want to live, want to go out, want to see people
BACKGROUND: The lack of social and material perspectives in descriptions of recovery processes is almost common in recovery research. AIM: Consequently, we investigated recovery stories and how people with mental health and/or addiction challenges included social and material aspects in these stories. METHOD: We conducted focus group and individual interviews. We investigated how the participants narrated their stories and how they assembled plac…
The Lost Social Context of Recovery Psychiatrization of a Social Process
From being a concept questioning the core of psychiatric knowledge and practice, recovery has been adopted as a guiding vison for mental health policy and practice by different local, national, and international organizations. The aim of this article is to contextualize the different understandings of recovery and its psychiatrization through the emergence of an individualizing and de-contextualized definition which have gained a dominant positio…
Students’ experiences and learning of social inclusion in team activities in physical education
Physical education (PE) can be a context in which students are ‘educated through the physical’, which includes the possibility to learn social inclusion as an important life skill and contributor to the greater good of society. A key goal in the Norwegian educational system is that such positive life skills become internalised in students. The aims of this study were to understand students’ experiences of and behaviour towards social inclusion – …
General support versus individual work support
This study aims to increase understanding of how social workers and therapists contribute to cooperation meetings within the individual placement and support intervention. The individual placement and support model of supported employment is expanding worldwide. Although several quantitative studies have shown this model`s effect, the need for qualitative studies on collaboration within this intervention is evident. The individual placement and s…
Understanding disruptive situations in physical education
Several studies have emphasized the importance of handling disruptive situations in the physical education (PE) learning environment; however, few have investigated complex disruptive situations in PE and included both teacher and student perspectives. The aims of this study, which discusses an alternative teaching style for reducing disruptive situations, were to gain a better understanding of student and teacher experiences of complex disruptiv…
Materialities in supported housing for people with mental health problems
Our daily lives and sense of self are partly formed by material surroundings that are often taken for granted. This materiality is also important for people with mental health problems living in supported housing with surroundings consisting of different healthcare services, neighbourhoods, buildings or furniture. In this study, we explored how understandings of tenants are expressed in the materialities of supported housing. We conducted ethnogr…
Studies regarding supported housing and the built environment for people with mental health problems
Places where people live are important for their personal and social lives. This is also the case for people with mental health problems living in supported housing. To summarise the existing knowledge, we conducted a systematic review of 13 studies with different methodologies regarding the built environment in supported housing and examined their findings in a thematic analysis. The built environment of supported housing involves three importan…
It’s not just a lot of words’. A qualitative exploration of residents’ descriptions of helpful relationships in supportive housing
This article explores how professional relationships may be helpful from the perspective of residents in staffed supportive housing for individuals with severe mental health and/or drug problems. Using in-dept interviews, residents were individually asked to describe a helpful relationship with a self-chosen staff member, the content of the help provided by this staff member and how this help influenced their lives. Using thematic analysis, we fo…
Small Things, Micro-Affirmations and Helpful Professionals Everyday Recovery-Orientated Practices According to Persons with Mental Health Problems
The aim of this study is to present concrete descriptions of the content in the construction of helpful relationships with staff, according to users. Starting with the re-occurring concept of the meaning of "little things" in recovery studies, a literature review was done. A thematic analysis shows that small things play an important role in improving a person's sense of self. Small things seem to be an invisible but effective parts of a recovery…

“Heaven and Hell on Earth” A critical discourse analysis of religious terms in Norwegian autobiographies describing personal experience of mental health problems
This article explores the use of religious terms in six Norwegian autobiographies written between 1925 and 2005 by people who themselves have been patients in the mental health services. Through a critical discourse analysis, we discuss the functions of religious discourse in the texts and its position in contrast to the medical discourse predominant in today's mental health services. It was found that religious (predominantly Christian) terms we…
