Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The author attempts to integrate the concepts of self used in psychoanalytic theory with the understanding of the nature of self as explained within the Buddhist meditative tradition. He divides different concepts of self in psychoanalytic theory into three major levels of consciousness and abstraction: self as experience, representational self and self as system. The representational level is defined as consisting of unconscious organizing structures of interaction: the system level is a hierarchically higher organization of representations, while the experiential level consists of the moment-to-moment flow of consciousness. He argues that for the sake of theoretical clarity these levels should be differentiated in discussions of self. He then describes the Buddhist psychology of self and tries to show how this perspective can enrich psychoanalytic understanding of the experiential self and of narcissism, which in Buddhist language would be described as clinging to (seeking or avoiding) images of self that arise in the mind. Last, he describes a model of therapeutic development using different levels of self and the interrelationship between them, showing how psychoanalytic psychotherapy and Buddhist insight meditation emphasize different levels of self using complementary rather than mutually exclusive methods.

Hunter gatherers north of the TRB border in central Scandinavia : The neolithzation from a north Scandinavian prespective
- 2003

Konferensbidrag (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- In this paper the Mesolithic in Northern Sweden is discussed in relation to the neolitization process in southern Scandinavia. It is argued that the late Mesolithic handle core tradition found throughout the region, spread from the south through people moving in the exchange networks and that it carried values important for the reproduction of these societies. A change in material symbolism that takes place at c 4500 cal BC is seen as the result of an ethnic process whereby northern hunter-gatherers actively, as a response to the neolithization, appropriated a new identity and thus new material symbols.
