Conclusions that the study has resulted in is that some clients experience a worsening attitude, they want a personal and individual approach, and derives it to social services are in a vulnerable and stressful situation in today's society. Social workers talk about the contact with words like adapt, to listen and responsibility is important for a professional to create a successful contact and relationship. The results also showed that clients identify themselves at times with their diagnoses and occasionally they express a desire to disregard diagnoses. Some clients also expressed experiences of stigmatization because of their mental illness from social services. A social worker said she didn’t ask the client straight ahead about the diagnosis, instead she described herself as a detective in the conversation. (Less)
