Supporting self-determination
This article examines ways to support young adults’ self-determination in social work practice from the perspective of Axel Honneth’s recognition theory. Honneth’s theory emphasises the relational aspect of self-determination and suggests that supporting young adults’ self-determination in social work entails more than merely respecting their right to it. The active support and encouragement of social workers are also required to enable and creat…
Young adults’ service disengagement
We examine young adults’ service disengagement in the context of welfare services including social, health care and employment services. By service disengagement we mean young adults’ refusal of help, with three manifestations: not applying for services, refusing to participate, or dropping out of the services available to them. This theme has rarely been addressed in social work research, but it is a common phenomenon in the field of social serv…
Children's grief maps—Capturing children's grief and sorrow in family and close relationships
To better understand sensitive situations in children's lives, it is important to engage them in research. This article reports the initial findings of a study on children's grief. Grief map data were collected during interviews with 8‐ to 9‐year‐old children ( N = 22). The aim was to explore children's perceptions of the family and close relationships that help them in moments of grief, and the relationships related to the cause of these emotion…
Intimacy, relationality and interdependencies
Gambling is an addictive behaviour that causes significant harms to individuals, families and societies. Problematic gambling can have profound impacts on family life, including financial destitution and relationship breakdown. In addictive relationships, addictive behaviour dominates over other social commitments. The COVID-19 pandemic had important implications on family life and gambling behaviours. This is likely to have affected family relat…
Trusting and misleading. Parents’ and children’s communication and negotiation about alcohol as described by teenagers
Background: Typically, research on parents’ and children’s interactions around alcohol issues focuses on how parenting styles and parents’ examples affect teenager’s drinking habits. In this paper, we approach the theme from the youngsters’ perspective. We ask how teenagers describe the interaction on alcohol-related issues with their parents and how they would like their parents to act during these interactions.Data and methods: The article appl…
Researching Children’s Multiple Family Relations
Visual methods are reported to have certain advantages when conducting interviews on sensitive topics, such as intimate spaces, home-related ethical issues, and vulnerable families. In this article, we concentrate on two visual methods: social network maps and life-lines. In our research project on children’s well-being and emotional security in multiple family relations, we collected data by interviewing children and asking them to complete soci…
Encountering ethics in studying challenging family relations
This article focuses on ethical considerations in the study of challenging family relations. Our perspective derives from multidisciplinary family studies, including social sciences, psychology and educational sciences. Our concerns include why and how to apply a sensitive approach in studying challenging family relations, and what the key ethical issues are in studies of this kind. We examine questions of multiplicity in family relations, the pa…
Studying sensitive and contradictory family situations
The purpose of this article is to discuss questions about studying sensitive and contradictory family situations, particularly in the process of gathering qualitative data via interviews. In the article, the authors ask what types of considerations are possible when studying such issues. Three ongoing family studies conducted in the social sciences by the authors are used as the basis for discussing the sensitive and contradictory nature of such …
Was your father a problem drinker
In this article, the challenges of carrying out life story interview research on the adult sons of problem-drinking fathers will be discussed. Earlier studies have shown that parents’ problem drinking can disturb family life and be harmful in various ways to children. In the case of a problem-drinking father and his son, aspects of the father-son relationship and of the father as a male role model also assume major importance. Consequently, fathe…
