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…
Feltsamtaler som datakilde i kvalitativ samfunnsforskning
Denne artikkelen belyser feltsamtaler som forskningsverktøy. Feltsamtaler er ofte usynlige og underkommunisert i den vitenskapelige litteraturen.

Med søkelys på konteksten for samtalen og samtalens rammer og regi setter artikkelen feltsamtalen inn et kvalitativt metodeunivers. Feltsamtalen plasserer vi i et kontin…

The results have implications both for practice and policy because if taken seriously into consideration, more clients could access the services they need. Services for this group may be improved by focusing on the fourth threshold: trust
The beautiful in the commonplace
During fieldwork in a rehabilitation institution for drug abusers, I 1 became aware that certain, apparently commonplace, informal interaction situations between residents and staff appeared to constitute emotionally moving and identity-constructing situations which apparently had a great impact on the residents. These situations seem, on the surface, to be trivial, minor, superficial and very common. Still, and perhaps because of their 'smallnes…
