Cultural tightrope walkers
The study of participants' narrative identities reveals ways of coping with these transitions, revealing how participants continuously reconstruct their self-narratives to adapt to their new cultural environment. The findings suggest that while acculturation is a challenging process characterized by psychological tension and existential vulnerability, it can also foster personal resilience and new opportunities for meaning-making. The research co…
Clients’ Perspective on Predetermined Time Limits for Therapy in the Context of the Norwegian Welfare System
Limited capacity and high demand for mental health care drive efforts to improve the efficiency of treatment and increasingly result in predetermined time limits for treatment, even in government-covered treatment in welfare systems. How do clients experience having predetermined time limits for psychotherapy? We analyzed the transcripts of interviews with 18 participants who had completed a return to work (RTW) intervention based on emotion-focu…
Plunging Into a Dark Sea of Emotions
Comprehending professionals' emotional challenges when addressing child abuse can help to improve identification, protection, and care for exposed children. This study presents an interpretive description analysis of qualitative interviews with ten child protective services workers and nine child mental health services psychologists in Norway. The participants described intense negative reactions due to addressing child abuse during assessments a…
Regulating and coping with distress during police interviews of traumatized victims
The findings of the study show the importance of relational processes in investigative interviewing of traumatized interviewees, particularly with regard to coping with emotions. The results suggest that if the police investigator who is conducting an investigative interview can offer a trusting, safe and compassionate relationship, or if he or she steers the relational dynamics toward safety in the present moment when distress arises, he or she …
You notice that there is something positive about going to school’
This study aimed to obtain students’ first-person perspectives of their experience of positive teacher–student relationships (TSRs) in upper secondary school. We also explored their experiences of qualities of TSRs concerning students’ mental health and dropout from upper secondary school. We used a qualitative and participative approach, whereby key stakeholders were included as co-researchers. Seventeen students participated in semi-structured …
What Brings You Here? Exploring Why Young Adults Seek Help for Social Anxiety
Social anxiety disorder typically manifests in young adulthood, but there is an absence of qualitative research on the actual experiences of young adults suffering with this disorder. The aim of the present study was to investigate the lived experiences of 29 Norwegian university students who were seeking professional help for symptoms of social anxiety. We conducted in-depth interviews prior to a clinical trial. The interviews were transcribed a…
How I found out I had a bipolar disorder
Research indicates that it may take up to 10 years between onset of symptoms of bipolar disorder and receiving correct diagnosis and treatment. What is this period like? How do individuals experience the process of discovering that they have a bipolar disorder? In this study we utilized a hermeneutical-phenomenological approach developed within a reflexive-collaborative framework to explore these questions. In-depth interviews with 13 participant…
Toward Caring for Oneself in a Life of Intense Ups and Downs
In this article, we discuss processes of recovery in bipolar disorder. We utilized a hermeneutical-phenomenological approach developed within a reflexive-collaborative framework to examine what individuals do to promote improvement and positive change in their own lives. The study was designed and carried out in collaboration with an expert-by-experience group of 12 coresearchers with firsthand experiences of mental distress and recovery. In-dept…
Following old paths to new places – thirdness, mentalization, and the search for a transformational meeting
Both parts of the therapeutic dyad are searching for ways of relating between them that are more flexible and that open up new possibilities for thought and feeling. When therapy succeeds, patients transcend old transference expectations and fears in a meeting with another subject, a meeting with qualities of something essentially new. Here, it is hypothesized that the patient in the transference unconsciously searches for a transformational meet…
Between tradition and change
At the verge of unthinkable anxiety
This article examines the relevance of relationally oriented psychoanalytic phenomenology as a frame of reference for understanding psychotic states in schizophrenia. The etiology and structural characteristics of such states are examined from both a neurophysiological, and a relational and interpersonal point of view. Many findings indicate organic abnormalities in schizophrenia, acquired through an exposure to physical risk factors and genetic …
Searching for the enriching sense of otherness
This paper is a theoretical and clinical examination of the patient's search for the otherness of the therapist as a prerequisite for change and development in relational psychoanalytic psychotherapy. A basic assumption is that being in a relationship as well as being a personal self, is to be understood, as being with a “meaning-bearing other”; that is, someone who allows for the possibility of meaningful thoughts and feelings, either through an…
A boy in search of a meaning bearing other—from being a space shuttle to almost landing as an ordinary plane
This article discusses how the individual, on different levels of relating, connects towards the otherness of other persons. In Winnicott's theory, this may be seen as a fundamental issue in child development, psychoanalysis, and in psychoanalytic psychotherapy as well. In “holding”, the otherness and subjectivity of the caretaker is implied, but not recognized by the individual—care is taken as a given. In “mirroring”, the otherness of the other…
