Parent Management Training Oregon Model and Family-Based Services as Usual for Behavioral Problems in Youth
Temporality and timework
Early diagnosis and rapid treatment are deemed essential in relation to cancer. In 2007, Denmark implemented accelerated cancer patient pathways with predetermined time frames to reduce waiting time. In this article, based on fieldwork with observations at two hospitals and ethnographic interviews, we examine temporal experiences of the cancer patient pathway for endometrial cancer of the uterus at stage I. Results show that while the cancer pati…
Men with cancer and their experiences of marital relationships
Presently, there is a general understanding that health, illness and rehabilitation should be studied in a relational context, and that people's experiences, perceptions and practices in relation to health and recovery are formed relationally and contextually. The aim of this paper is to consider and discuss how men experienced their marital relationships, after being diagnosed with cancer. The empirical material is based on the authors' ethnogra…
Feeling lucky
Illness stories are a prime analytical way of understanding patient perspectives on cancer. Nevertheless, limited studies have focused on stories of endometrial cancer. An ethnographic study including participant observation and interviews among 18 Danish women with endometrial cancer was conducted to examine prevalent stories and the ways the women responded to them. In this article, the analysis focuses on two exemplary cases, which present a l…
How to explore dancers’ sense experiences? A study of how multi-sited fieldwork and phenomenology can be combined
In this article, we deal with how sense experiences can be described and analysed in movement activities such as dance. We present a methodological framework of how multi-sited fieldwork and phenomenology can be combined to explore ongoing constitutive processes of subjects’ sense experiences. The challenge of how to employ phenomenology in relation to a fieldwork based on particular and subjective experiences is constructively related to phenome…
The Ritualization of Rehabilitation
There is widespread and increasing political interest in devising plans to support people who have or have had cancer to recover and recommence 'normal' lives. Educating cancer patients for this purpose is a central element in cancer rehabilitation in both Europe and the United States. One of the challenges in intervention research pertaining to rehabilitation is how to measure and explain the effects of a particular rehabilitation program. The s…
Narrative journalism as complementary inquiry
Narrative journalism is a method to craft stories worth reading about real people. In this article, we explore the ability of that communicative power to produce insights complementary to those obtainable through traditional qualitative and quantitative research methods. With examples from a study of journalistic narrative as patient involvement in professional rehabilitation, interview data transcribed as stories are analyzed for qualities of he…
Illness, everyday life and narrative montage
This article presents a study of Sara Bro's Diary (2004), a book montage of images and texts recording the experiences of a Danish breast cancer survivor, Sara Bro. It examines two montages of photography and text, drawing on Roland Barthes' concept of 'the third meaning' to explain and discuss the effect of the layered meanings in the montage alongside their multi-medium and self-referential expression. The discussion is centred on the aesthetic…

Cancer Rehabilitation in Denmark
A fundamental assumption behind cancer rehabilitation in many Western societies is that cancer survivors can return to normal life by learning to deal with the consequences of their illness and their treatment. This assumption is supported by increasing political attention to cancer rehabilitation and a growth in residential cancer-rehabilitation initiatives in Denmark ( Danish Cancer Society 1999 ; Government of Denmark 2003 ). On the basis of t…
Hair Loss Induced by Chemotherapy
Throughout history hair has universally been a powerful symbol of the relationship between individuals and society, denoting religious affiliation, and has acted as a symbol of the social, cultural and political status quo. Hair loss, which is often perceived as a loss of individuality and attractiveness, has been related to the absence of status in these areas. The impact of hair loss on women undergoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer has pri…

Helle Ploug Hansen: 'My Memory is Like a Sieve': On Women, Cancer and Chemo- therapy Empirical data from my research project about women, cancer and rehabilitation are used in this article to explore loss of memory in relation to a severe disease. First I describe how women experience loss of memory in the case of cancer, and how they interpret this as a side-effect of the chemotherapy treatment. Hereby they reproduce a part of the dominant healt…
Et Zebrastribet Cirkusnummer
Helle Ploug Hansen: A Zebra-Striped Circus Performance. The Scenario of Laughter This article looks at humour and laughter as a complex social and cultural phenomenon. It is based on a description of a circus performance in Copenhagen in which a plastic zebra, after having read a zebrastriped book, lay down on the scene in the performance hall. The performance is first analysed as a parody of a traditional circus performance and as an absurd form…

Hvad sygeplejersker ser, når de ser en patient. Om synet i en verden af kroppe
Det var en chokerende oplevelse at starte feltarbejde pa en kraftafdeling pa et universitetshospital i Kobenhavns omegn. Godt nok havde jeg mange ar tidligere arbejdet som sygeplejerske pa forskellige hospitalsafdelinger og der passet og plejet patienter med kraft, men aldrig pa en hojt specialiseret medicinsk kraftafdeling som denne. Her er unge og voksne mand og kvinder indlagt til diverse udredningsundersogelser, til aktiv behandling med kemot…
