What’s the Purpose of Having a Say If I Cannot Participate?”
The aim of this study was qualitatively to describe, explore and reflect upon young people’s experiences of being heard and to participate in decision-making processes made in their best interests when in contact with child welfare services ( cws ) in Norway. Despite children’s right to be heard according to national and international legislation, three out of nine interviewees expressed an overall experience of this when in contact with professi…
Too Vulnerable to Participate? A Systematic Literature Review of the Gap between a Right to Participate and Participation, in Welfare Services
There is a need to reconceptualize children as competent and reflective actors in their own lives, acknowledging their right to be heard and to participate in meaningful ways. This article explores and suggests the means to overcome the gap between the formal right to participate and meaningful participation in welfare services that involve evaluating a child’s family environment. For this purpose, we conducted a systematic literature review to s…
In Your Best Interest
We introduce the opportunity for Capability Approach, developed by Martha C. Nussbaum (1997, 2006, 2011), to be used as a guideline to balance the principle of the child’s best interests as formulated in the crc , art. 3 and respect for family life, echr , art. 8, in cases where these principles are drawn in different directions. To contextualize a dilemma, we refer to two stories from the Norwegian courts which illustrate how complex this can be…
Therapy the Natural Way
Wilderness therapy has the potential to meet the specific needs of the current adolescent population by providing a rather unique outdoor group treatment. Wilderness therapy is not a new approach to mental health treatment, but its theoretical basis is not yet clearly delineated, in part because of the diversity found across programs and contexts. This article presents a critical realist exploration of a wilderness therapy program that was recent…
Unpacking the Black Box of Wilderness Therapy
Despite considerable progress within wilderness and adventure therapy research over the last decade, researchers are still unable to precisely answer why, how, and for whom this treatment modality works. There is also a need for more knowledge regarding the circumstances under which the treatment does not appear to be effective. In this realist synthesis, we attempt to unpack this "black box" of wilderness therapy more specifically, defined as a …
“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…
