Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Women with breast cancer are naturally exposed to strain related to diagnosis and treatment, and this influences their experienced quality of life (QoL). The present paper reports the effect, with regard to QoL aspects, of an art therapy intervention among 41 women undergoing radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer. The women were randomized to an intervention group with individual art therapy sessions for 1 h/week (n = 20), or to a control group (n = 21). The WHOQOL-BREF and EORTC Quality of Life Questionnaire-BR23, were used for QoL assessment, and administrated on three measurement occasions, before the start of radiotherapy and 2 and 6 months later. The results indicate an overall improvement in QoL aspects among women in the intervention group. A significant increase in total health, total QoL, physical health and psychological health was observed in the art therapy group. A significant positive difference within the art therapy group was also seen, concerning future perspectives, body image and systemic therapy side effects. The present study provides strong support for the use of art therapy to improve QoL for women undergoing radiotherapy treatment for breast cancer.

Women with breast cancer and gendered limits and boundaries : Art therapy as a safe space for enacting alternative subject positions

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article takes its starting point from certain results from our randomized study on art therapy with women with breast cancer. Previous results from this study showed significant benefits on coping, quality of life, and symptoms for women who participated in an art therapy intervention. Analyses of interviews and diaries showed that especially women from the intervention group had distanced themselves from traditionally gendered understandings about cultural limits and boundaries. The aim of this study was to gain further knowledge about how women with breast cancer who participated in the art therapy intervention gave meaning to the gendered limits and boundaries in their daily lives, and to trace their trajectories, in therapy, towards helpful management of restraining boundaries. When analyzing the women's verbal reflections on the therapy sessions, we discerned five subject positions, defining them as follows: being someone who reacts to violation attempts; actively connecting body and self; actively locating oneself and moving forward; being in a position to see important connections throughout life; and being able to acknowledge and harbour conflicting emotions. The results of the study suggest that art therapy served as a tool that helped the women to get access to subject positions that enabled them to protect and strengthen their boundaries. This involved challenging dominating discourses and reacting against perceived boundary violations. Art therapy offered a personal, physical, and pictorial “safe space” with opportunities to deal with complex existential experiences and issues, and also make important connections throughout life. Looking back and summarizing important experiences acted as a way to prepare oneself for the future and moving forward.

Betydelser av kön i svensk utvecklingspsykologi : från 80-tal till 2000-tal
-
Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Den här artikeln undersöker framställningen av flickor och pojkar i svenska läroböcker i utvecklingspsykologi, och om samhällsförändringen mot ökad jämställdhet återspeglas i dessa. Utifrån ett diskurspsykologiskt och socialkonstruktionistiskt förhållningssätt har samtida läroböcker i utvecklingspsykologi jämförts med en lärobok från 1980-talet. Vi beskriver två teman i den äldre boken som återkommer i de samtida böckerna. För det första att skillnader mellan könen fortfarande utgör dominerande tankeram i beskrivningarna av barns utveckling. För det andra att kulturella aspekters inverkan på barns utveckling till stor del saknas, vilket leder till att de biologiska förklaringarna dominerar, trots tydliga intentioner hos författarna i inledningarna till böckerna att omfatta kritiska och kulturella perspektiv i den kunskap som ska förmedlas. När texten övergår till mer specifika beskrivningar av barns utveckling upphör till stor del talet om utvecklingspsykologi i relation till samhälleliga värderingar. I samband med detta tycks en värdemässig förskjutning ske. När kön beskrivs som en individuell faktor utan förankring i kultur, skapas ett företräde för att förstå skillnader mellan könen som ”av naturen givna”. När kulturella aspekter av kön och psykisk utveckling/ohälsa osynliggörs, riskerar man att stänga för tankegångar om möjligheten till förändring. Därmed riskerar man även att stänga för många jämställdhetsargument. Vi lyfter slutligen fram tanken om ”den neutrala förmedlaren” som bidragande till att denna värdemässiga förskjutning sker och lämnas så oproblematiserad i texterna.

Neutrality, gender stereotypes, and analytical voids : The ideals and practices of Swedish child psychologists

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article reports a study of the meanings of gender that are active in Swedish child psychologists’ narratives about their practice. The analysis is informed by constructionist and discourse-psychological approaches. We identify and describe four different interpretative repertoires: a repertoire of neutrality and equal treatment, based on a liberal political vision of equality in combination with a neutral knowledge ideal; an individualizing repertoire that focuses on individual differences and symptoms, and reduces the impact of context for children's problems; a repertoire of gender-specific characteristics, in which notions of fundamental internal differences between girls and boys are central when assessing what is normal; and a repertoire of gender-specific expectations, focusing on how girls and boys are raised differently. The repertoires were often used unreflectingly, and narratives tended to slide between the different meanings of gender, often ending in accounts of individualizing and symptom-focused treatments. In the analysis, these patterns are brought into a more general discussion of the limited, and limiting, analytical tools that these psychologists relied on in their work. Since their analytical tools stop short of the societal level, gendered patterns of power are left outside of their understanding of ‘the psychological’. As a consequence, it would appear that these psychologists adopt treatment strategies focused on gender-stereotypical adjustment to socially expected behaviors.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study investigated what it is like to be a feminist clinical psychologist in a country with a long commitment to gender equality. We studied how two Swedish clinical child psychologists committed to promoting gender equality talked about issues of gender and inequality in their clinical work. We identified three interpretative repertoires that formed the basis of these clinicians’ talk about gender and gender equality: a repertoire built on ideas about basic inherent differences between boys and girls, but nonetheless valuing boys and girls equally; a repertoire emphasizing similar treatment, built on the assumption that gender is of no importance, and that everybody has equal value; and a repertoire built on views of girls and boys as unequally valued by society at large. Both clinicians drew upon all three repertoires. However, they used the repertoires in starkly different ways depending on whether they assumed that knowledge that presupposes gendered power structures can be considered legitimate professional knowledge.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Contemporary relations between feminism and psychology in the Nordiccountries have their origins in feminist critique similar to that in other westerncountries. There are also some distinctive features, however, especially seen in ahistorical perspective. In this commentary, we describe both commonalities anddistinctive features and focus on how they have interacted with the ways thatfeminists working in and around psychology have produced knowledge. In doingthis, we trace the developments historically from the 1950s, when psychologywas first established as an academic discipline in the Nordic countries. Aselsewhere, Nordic feminist scholarship in psychology has been built on a combinationof political concern and scholarly critique that initially produced researchfocusing mainly on women and on links between social and personal changes forwomen. A focus on men developed later. We start at the time of the early sex-role debates among politicians andscholars. These early debates, beginning in earnest after World War II, lasted wellinto the 1970s and resulted in some characteristic research strategies. Next, wemove to Nordic feminist conceptualizations of the psychology of care, andof gender as negotiated in interpersonal relations. Then, ways of researchinggenerational transfer and transformation of gender patterns are in focus, followedby studies of gendered identity negotiations in increasingly new identity landscapes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Within the Nordic "paradise for women" (Fougner & Asp‐Larsen [ 2]) there have for decades appeared critical feminist analyses of gender equality, growing in intensity since the 1990s. Today numerous critics point out the discursive and/or ideological (in the Gramscian sense) nature and deployment of Nordic gender equality (cf. NORA 2/2002). This Special Issue of NORA on Critical studies of Nordic discourses on gender and gender equality offers examples of current feminist scholarly thinking on how Nordic gender and gender equality are constructed.

Äldreomsorgen i historisk belysning : organisering, politisering, professionalisering
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Rapportens syfte är att skapa förståelse för äldreomsorgens praktik, styrning och ideologi idag, genom att sätta detta i ett historiskt sammanhang. Vi visar hur styrning och ledning av äldreomsorgen gradvis blir mer abstrakta och hur styrningspraktiken distanseras från den sociala verkligheten. Detta går hand i hand med, och menar vi kanske delvis beror på att, nya mer professionella tjänstemannagrupper, ibland helt utan erfarenhet och utbildning inom äldreomsorgen fått en viktigare roll, samtidigt som kommunpolitiken alltmer partipolitiserats och samtidigt blivit en karriärväg för de ledande partiföreträdarna. Vårt fokus ligger på nutiden, men för att förstå denna går vi tillbaka i äldreomsorgens historia, och beskriver hur äldreomsorgen utformats under olika tider, samt hur det uppstod en kommunal politikerroll som skulle styra äldreomsorgen. Efter det beskriver vi hur de yrkesgrupper som dominerar administration och organisation av äldreomsorgen vuxit fram och utvecklats. Slutligen diskuterar vi konsekvenserna av utvecklingen för äldreomsorgen idag. Rapportens empiriska material bygger på arkivmaterial från Uppsala kommun samt nationella och lokala styrdokument av social omsorg i allmänhet och äldreomsorg i synnerhet.
