- The present article discusses how 12 children (five to eight years) in planned lesbian familiestalk about families, parents and specifically ‘daddies’ as such and not having a father themselves.Findings from child interviews demonstrate that the children described daddies as ‘the same’ asmummies, i.e. as having the same functions. This contrasts with previous research showing howchildren of heterosexuals often describe mothers and fathers as different. The children varied interms of how they labelled donors. Some children adopted the denomination ‘daddy’, drawing ona paternity discourse, while others simply referred to him as ‘a man’.

- Klimatförändringar leder till ökade och nya risker i samhällen. Översvämningar från skyfall är en sådan risk som redan genererar stora skador, vilka förväntas öka markant i framtiden. Inte minst riskerar många villaägare att drabbas av översvämningar och de har också tillskrivits en central roll i Sveriges klimatanpassningsarbete. Trots detta har inga tidigare svenska studier undersökt specifikt hur villaägare påverkats av översvämningar bortom skadekostnader och ytterst få har undersökt hur de har hanterat eller ser på sitt ansvar att förebygga översvämningsrisker. Bristen på sådan kunskap kan leda till mindre informerade beslut om klimatanpassning. Genom intervjuer med villaägare som drabbats av översvämningar undersöker denna studie hur villaägare; ser på översvämningsrisker, har påverkats materiellt och hälsomässigt, har hanterat situationen, och ser på ansvar att förebygga nya skador. Studien påvisar tydliga effekter på villaägares välbefinnande, att få villaägare har implementerat åtgärder, tendenser att underskatta risker för översvämningar samt att ansvaret för förebyggande åtgärder skjuts över till andra aktörer.

- Objective: Several studies have shown that the quality of the working alliance predicts symptomatic improvement sessionby-session, including in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). We wanted to explore what characterizes CBT sessions with high and low alliances further using qualitative analysis. Method: Ten CBT-sessions were selected from eight patients' therapies in a larger research project on psychotherapy for patients with major depression. Five sessions were chosen from high- and five from low-alliance sessions, based on therapist- and patient-reported Working Alliance Inventory scores. Transcripts of these sessions were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The analysis yielded four themes, each structured into two sub-themes: Therapist style, Person in focus, Content focus, and Therapeutic direction. In contrast to low-alliance sessions, high-alliance sessions were characterized by a more exploring as opposed to expert therapist style; a focus on the patient's thoughts, feelings, and behavior, rather than a diffuse focus or a focus on other people's actions/external events; and a sense of moving forward rather than stagnation. Conclusion: Our qualitative analysis showed theoretically and clinically meaningful processes in CBT sessions of high- vs low working alliance. This method is a useful complement to quantitative within-patient analyses, to expand on the meaning of quantitative findings.

Division of Care and Leave Arrangements in Gay Father Families in Sweden

- Introduction This study analyses the division of parental leave and the income development in gay father families through surrogacy in Sweden, seen as one of the most family-friendly and egalitarian countries in the world.Methods Based on longitudinal population register data, descriptive and bivariate regression models are estimated to analyse the parental leave uptake and income development of married partners becoming (first-time) parents in 2006–2015 (in total 53 couples). Retrospective in-depth interviews with 23 gay men in 12 couples, conducted in 2010 and 2018 are analysed thematically to study how fathers discussed and decided how to divide the leave.Results The process of establishing legal parenthood delays the fathers’ access to reimbursed parental leave. Despite this, the fathers’ earnings were not considerably affected by the addition of a child to the family. Once the fathers had access to reimbursed leave, they generally shared this equally, with a tendency for the genetic father to take leave first and for a slightly longer period.Conclusions The fathers becoming parents via surrogacy arrangements are a well-off group, able to counter the negative financial consequences of becoming parents. Swedish family policies enable parents to share the leave equally. Less impacted by gender and parenthood norms creating difference between parents, gay father families are in a better position to realise ideals of shared care and sameness.Policy Implications The delayed access to reimbursed parental leave structures the ability of gay couples to become parents and contributes to class inequalities in the transition to parenthood.

Fear of childbirth and mental health among lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people : a cross-sectional study
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology. - : Taylor & Francis Ltd. - 0167-482X .- 1743-8942. ; 43:4, s. 526-531

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Most studies of fear of childbirth (FOC) are conducted on heterosexual cisgender pregnant populations of birth-giving parents. Among lesbian and bisexual women, as well as transgender and queer people (LBTQ), minority stress can add an extra layer to FOC. Gender binary and cisnormative assumptions leave it to the patient to educate and navigate healthcare providers, which can increase mental health problems. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare FOC and mental illness among expecting birth-giving parents and their partners in an LBTQ population. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 80 self-identified pregnant LBTQ persons and their 54 non-pregnant partners at a LBTQ specialized antenatal clinic in a large Swedish city of over one million inhabitants. The survey included socio-demographic characteristics, sexual and gender orientation, obstetric history, previous mental health, previous trauma exposure and measures of FOC and mental health. Results: Levels of FOC were significantly higher for the pregnant participants (median W-DEQ 67.5) than for partners (median W-DEQ 60.0). The proportion of severe FOC was higher for pregnant participants (20.3%) than for partners (9.4%), although this difference was not statistically significant. Mental illness was significantly associated with FOC. Conclusion: The results add valuable information to our understanding of the specific needs of pregnant LBTQ people and their partners and may help us to develop healthcare in the future.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Heteronormen, cisnormen och mononormen – varför bör vi känna till dem? Hur kan behandlare skapa ett samtalsklimat där klienterna kan känna sig trygga? Vilken kunskap om hbtq+-personers livsvillkor behövs för ett professionellt bemötande? Och varför räcker inte bara empati?Den här boken tar ett omfattande grepp om frågor som rör homo, bi, trans, queer och en rad andra identitetskategorier som alla relaterar till sexualitet, relationsbildning, kön och könsuttryck – i boken samlade under akronymen hbtq+. Trots en positiv utveckling i samhället leder minoritetsstress fortfarande till ökad ohälsa hos hbtq+-personer, och kunskapsluckorna är stora inom samhälls- och vårdinstanser. Författarna sätter in dessa frågor i ett historiskt och teoretiskt ramverk och gör en grundläggande genomgång av aspekter som rör hälsa och ohälsa i relation till hbtq+. Fördjupande kapitel rör områden som barn och ungdomar, föräldraskap och migration. Praktisk kunskap om professionellt bemötande tas upp och handfasta råd vägleder läsaren. Boken vänder sig till dig som är studerande eller verksam inom ett människovårdande yrke.HBTQ+ är skriven av flera av Sveriges mest kunniga psykologer och forskare inom området. Antologins redaktörer är Tove Lundberg, leg. psykolog, fil.dr och forskare vid Lunds universitet; Anna Malmquist, leg. psykolog, fil.dr och forskare vid Linköpings universitet; Matilda Wurm, examinerad psykolog och doktorand i psykologi vid Örebro universitet.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Transgender people report significantly poorer mental health than cisgender people. In psychological research, these health disparities are explained by theories of minority stress and microaggressions, while other disciplines use theories on normativity, livability, affective work, world making and utopias. Such theories are seldom picked up by psychologists even though they could serve to help psychological research and practice improve mental health in transgender people.The aim of this interview study was twofold. Empirically, it was to explore how 29 transgender people in Sweden (aged 17-63 years), experience and cope with vulnerability to make life survivable/livable. Analytically, psychological theories of minority stress, microaggressions and coping were put in conversation with theories of livability and emotional labor. Queer phenomenology was used to orient our analysis of the empirical material, as well as orient us theoretically, to find new ways of understanding transgender people’s vulnerability psychologically.While participants’ negative experiences are interpreted as covered by theories on minority stress and microaggressions, these theories do not explain all nuances of the exposure. In addition, theories on coping do not fully capture the constantly ongoing work participants need to do to manage everyday situations. The analysis resulted in three themes. One theme describes the ontic work that participants do in response to existential challenges of not being recognized as a subject. Another theme visualizes the relational work that participants do to deal with subtle exposure in their everyday life, trying to relate to oneself and others simultaneously. The final theme shows that participants utilize reactive and agentic reflexivity to try to achieve minority peace and a livable life. We hope that this dialogue between psychology and gender studies can continue in a Swedish context to better serve transgender people’s livability.
