Patients’ Affective Processes Within Initial Experiential Dynamic Therapy Sessions
- 2017

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Research has indicated that patients’ in-session experience of previously avoided affects may be important for effective psychotherapy. The aim of this study was to investigate patients’ in-session levels of affect experiencing in relation to their corresponding levels of insight, motivation, and inhibitory affects in initial Experiential Dynamic Therapy (EDT) sessions. Four hundred sixty-six 10-min video segments from 31 initial sessions were rated using the Achievement of Therapeutic Objectives Scale. A series of multilevel growth models, controlling for between-therapist variability, were estimated to predict patients’ adaptive affect experiencing (Activating Affects) across session segments. In line with our expectations, higher within-person levels of Insight and Motivation related to higher levels of Activating Affects per segment. Contrary to expectations, however, lower levels of Inhibition were not associated with higher levels of Activating Affects. Further, using a time-lagged model, we did not find that the levels of Insight, Motivation, or Inhibition during one session segment predicted Activating Affects in the next, possibly indicating that 10-min segments may be suboptimal for testing temporal relationships in affective processes. Our results suggest that, to intensify patients’ immediate affect experiencing in initial EDT sessions, therapists should focus on increasing insight into defensive patterns and, in particular, motivation to give them up. Future research should examine the impact of specific inhibitory affects more closely, as well as between-therapist variability in patients’ in-session adaptive affect experiencing.

Intensive Short-Term Dynamic Psychotherapy Trial Therapy Effectiveness and Role of Unlocking the Unconscious
- 2017
-
In: Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease. - 0022-3018 .- 1539-736X. ; 205:6, s. 453-457
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study examined the effects of trial therapy interviews using intensive short-term dynamic psychotherapy with 500 mixed sample, tertiary center patients. Furthermore, we investigated whether the effect of trial therapy was larger for patients who had a major unlocking of the unconscious during the interview compared with those who did not. Outcome measures were the Brief Symptom Inventory (BSI) and the Inventory of Interpersonal Problems (IIP), measured at baseline and at 1-month follow-up. Significant outcome effects were observed for both the BSI and the IIP with small to moderate preeffect/posteffect sizes, Cohen's d = 0.52 and 0.23, respectively. Treatment effects were greater in patientswho had a major unlocking of the unconscious comparedwith thosewho did not. The trial therapy interview appears to be beneficial, and its effects may relate to certain therapeutic processes. Further controlled research is warranted.

Solid or Flexible? : Social Trust from Early Adolescence to Young Adulthood
- 2017
-
In: Scandinavian Political Studies. - : Wiley. - 0080-6757 .- 1467-9477. ; 40:2, s. 207-227
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The belief that people are generally fair and trustworthy has generated plenty of scholarly attention in recent decades, particularly in the Scandinavian countries, which are often known for high levels of social trust. This article draws attention to the current discussion in the literature on whether social trust is a stable cultural trait marked by persistence or is based on experiences and subject to change throughout life. Based on unique longitudinal data from five different cohorts of young people in Sweden, ranging in age from 13 to 28 years, this article provides an empirical contribution on how social trust develops over time. The results show that there is a greater degree of instability in social trust between 13 and 15 years of age than in other age groups, and that social trust appears to stabilize with age. Findings also indicate that there are substantial inter-individual differences in social trust among young people within the same age group, both in initial levels and in the rates of change over time. The article concludes that although social trust is relatively stable it tends to crystallize in early adulthood, highlighting the relevance of the impressionable-years hypothesis.

Dose-response relationships of the sigmoid for urgency syndrome after gynecological radiotherapy.
- 2018
-
In: Acta oncologica (Stockholm, Sweden). - 1651-226X .- 0284-186X. ; 57:10, s. 1352-1358
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- To find out what organs and doses are most relevant for 'radiation-induced urgency syndrome' in order to derive the corresponding dose-response relationships as an aid for avoiding the syndrome in the future.From a larger group of gynecological cancer survivors followed-up 2-14years, we identified 98 whom had undergone external beam radiation therapy but not brachytherapy and not having a stoma. Of those survivors, 24 developed urgency syndrome. Based on the loading factor from a factor analysis, and symptom frequency, 15 symptoms were weighted together to a score interpreted as the intensity of radiation-induced urgency symptom. On reactivated dose plans, we contoured the small intestine, sigmoid colon and the rectum (separate from the anal-sphincter region) and we exported the dose-volume histograms for each survivor. Dose-response relationships from respective risk organ and urgency syndrome were estimated by fitting the data to the Probit, RS, LKB and gEUD models.The rectum and sigmoid colon have steep dose-response relationships for urgency syndrome for Probit, RS and LKB. The dose-response parameters for the rectum were D50: 51.3, 51.4, and 51.3Gy, γ50=1.19 for all models, s was 7.0e-09 for RS and n was 9.9×107 for LKB. For Sigmoid colon, D50 were 51.6, 51.6, and 51.5Gy, γ50 were 1.20, 1.25, and 1.27, s was 2.8 for RS and n was 0.079 for LKB.Primarily the dose to sigmoid colon as well as the rectum is related to urgency syndrome among gynecological cancer survivors. Separate delineation of the rectum and sigmoid colon in order to incorporate the dose-response results may aid in reduction of the incidence of the urgency syndrome.

Socialtjänstens värdegrunder : Etik i förarbeten och lagar om fattigvård, socialvård och socialtjänst
- 2018
-
Reports (other academic/artistic)abstract
- I denna studie beskrivs och analyseras den svenska fattigvårdens, socialvårdens och socialtjänstens ”värdehistoria”. Det är berättelsen om hur mellanmänskliga värden har använts för offentliga lösningar byggda på dygder, plikter och nyttoidéer.Värdefrågor har alltid varit grundläggande i lagar och förarbeten inom området, men det är ovanligt med uttalat etiska analyser, reflektioner och ställningstaganden i statliga utredningar, propositioner och betänkanden från riksdagsutskott. Det gäller både i äldre tid och under de senaste decennierna.Människosynen i lagar och förarbeten om socialtjänsten betonar den enskildes individualitet, möjligheter och behov. Det finns ett tydligt fokus på individuellt oberoende samtidigt som socialtjänstlagens ”portalparagraf” bär spår av en gemenskapsmoral med rötter i akademisk diskussion.I dag finns det tecken på skillnader i värden mellan olika grupper, såsom rättigheter för barn och människor med funktionsnedsättningar och en mer traditionellt etisk värdegrund för äldreomsorgen.
