- Background: The conceptual framework which describes recovery from mental illness is based primarily on studies conducted in English-speaking countries. Knowledge and development of recovery orientation within other cultures and mental health systems is still limited.Aim: The aim of this study was to compile, describe, and discuss the research on personal recovery and recovery-oriented practice within the psychiatric and social fields in the Nordic countries. Method: A systematic literature review of Nordic research on recovery from mental illness. Results: The research literature is limited, and primarily replicates designs and confirms findings first presented in studies conducted in the USA and Great Britain.The majority of the studies are qualitative, and point to the importance of social relations, environmental factors, and peer support. Conclusions: There is a need to identify and describe factors in Nordic mental health systems that may influence the recovery process. A corresponding challenge will be to translate and further develop outcome indicators that can promote a recovery-oriented health system.

- Background/ObjectivesThe conceptual framework which describes recovery from mental illness is based primarily on studies conducted in English-speaking countries. Knowledge and development of a recovery orientation within other cultures and mental health systems is still limited, and few studies have discussed the impact of varied national contexts on the development and implementation of recovery-oriented services. The aim of this study was to compile, describe and discuss the research on personal recovery and recovery oriented practice within the psychiatric and social fields in the Nordic countries. MethodsA systematic literature review of Nordic research on recovery from mental illness was conducted which included studies that clearly focused on Recovery as a knowledge base in psychiatric and social services.ResultsTwenty one studies were reviewed, summarized and analyzed with regard to their findings regarding the recovery process, descriptions of interventions which promote recovery and factors which might be specific to the Nordic context and mental health system. The majority of the studies were qualitative and stressed the importance of social relations, environmental factors and peer support. The identified research literature was limited and primarily replicated designs and confirmed findings first presented in North American and British studies. Few studies referred to aspects of welfare system, mental health service structures or cultural factors that might impact the recovery process.Discussion/ConclusionThere is a need to identify and describe factors in Nordic mental health systems that may influence the recovery process. If research does not attend to cultural and organizational differences that may impact the development and implementation of recovery services there is a risk that users will not gain access to these interventions in a manner relevant to their needs. A corresponding challenge will be to translate and further develop outcome indicators that can promote a recovery oriented health system.

- In many countries, user involvement in social work (SW) education is common practice, while in other countries, initiatives for inclusion are currently expanding. No matter how far the progress of user involvement in education has come, issues on clarity, sustainability and accountability need to be addressed. In this paper, users’ reasons for wanting to participate in SW education and the way they define their potential contribution are explored. These experiences can provide important information contributing to sustainable, meaningful, and accountable collaborations between users, university staff and students. Participants (n = 33) answered a questionnaire including demographic data and four open-ended questions about their expectations of participation in a SW programme at the University of Dalarna in Sweden. The results from the open-ended questions were analysed using qualitative content analysis. Results show that users’ main reasons for wanting to get involved were to contribute through sharing their lived experience of SW education, to help improve services and also to obtain respect for their own personal knowledge and experience. The respondents described themselves both as carriers of valuable knowledge and as accountable experts on the subject.

User involvement in social work and education : a matter of participation?
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The increase in user involvement in social work practice and education can be explained by incentives toward an evidence-based practice, such as those offered by legislation and from the user movement, and those related to professional development. Still, the clients' involvement in research and practice is highlighted as a gap that needs to be filled. The aim of the author in this article is to study the presence of user involvement in social work practice, research, and education, and the level of influence of users and carers within these activities. The results reflect an expanding user involvement in social work practice. Still, projects of user involvement in social work practice are often developed on an ad hoc and inconsistent basis, and knowledge about the effects of these efforts is still limited. User involvement is not to be understood as something that is self-evidently good. On the contrary, the results present a rather complex concept that is bound up with changing and contested understandings of the role of the social worker, academia, and the users themselves.

Dalarna, Sweden : Conflicted Touristic Representations of a Place on the Fringe

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In this chapter, our focus is on issues faced when developing tourism in a region located in and on the fringe. To illustrate our discussion we use the Dalarna region in southern central Sweden as an example. This region is perceived by many of those involved in tourism development as a homogenous entity. We suggest that, at least in part, this is a representation of Dalarna as the ‘Heart of Sweden’, situated in a mythologised past. In order to problematize current thinking we make use of two specific cases, namely ski resort development in the Malung-Sälen municipality in the north-west of the region and a rural festival focused on locally produced food and drink in the southern part of the region. Dalarna is represented as an imagined idyll, a land of heroic deeds and iconic images. As such, the region acts as more than merely a geographic fringe space, with its proximity to Stockholm. It also works as a kind of chronological fringe, a space between past and present. However, we suggest that late modernity disrupts the imagined idyll used by tourism developers. Dalarna is no less a modern, complex space as other regions in Sweden. It is the reality and desires of local people living in as an evolving and lived-in space that needs to be considered. Our discussion and examples illustrate the complexities that need to be taken into account to ensure sustainable, meaningful and most importantly inclusive tourism development.
