Psykoanalys som emotionellt arbete: En empirisk undersökning av förhållandet mellan psykoanalytikerns känslomässiga genuinitet och psykoanalysen som marknadsvara
(2020) PSPR14 20201Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Studien syftade till att undersöka psykoanalys betraktat som emotionellt arbete i enlighet med Hochschild (1983). Inom såväl psykologin som sociologin har förekomsten och effekterna av emotionellt arbete för många yrkesgrupper studerats. Mycket lite har publicerats om emotionellt arbete i psykoterapi. Semistrukturerade kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med sex psykoanalytiker. Det empiriska materialet tolkades genom en hermeneutisk ansats med hjälp av tematisk analys och resulterade i fyra huvudteman och sjutton underteman. Resultatet indikerade att de intervjuade psykoanalytikerna i mycket liten omfattning tycktes bedriva ytligt emotionellt arbete och i stor omfattning tycktes bedriva djupt emotionellt arbete, huvudsakligen genom...

Det empiriska materialet tolkades genom en hermeneutisk ansats med hjälp av tematisk analys och resulterade i fyra huvudteman och sjutton underteman. Resultatet indikerade att de intervjuade psykoanalytikerna i mycket liten omfattning tycktes bedriva ytligt emotionellt arbete och i stor omfattning tycktes bedriva djupt emotionellt arbete, huvudsakligen genom empatisk inlevelse och härbärgerande. Vidare antydde resultatet att psykoanalys inte bör betraktas som ett kommodifierat emotionellt lönearbete. Andra sätt att förstå psykoanalysen som social praktik diskuterades. Psykoanalysen avhandlades i kontrast till det emotionella lönearbetet som ett bidrag till kärlekens utveckling och föreslogs som en i första hand moralisk snarare än emotionell kur. Avslutningsvis föreslogs alternativa förståelser för psykoanalytikern som social aktör. Ur makroperspektiv som segrare i den emotionella kapitalismen i enlighet med Eva Illouz (2007) och ur mikroperspektiv som en främling i den psykoterapeutiska situationen i enlighet med Georg Simmel (1910/1981).

- Abstract
- This study aimed at investigating psychoanalysis regarded as emotional labor following Hochschild (1983). The prevalence and effects of emotional labor has been studied in sociology as well as psychology in relation to many occupations. Not much has been published concerning emotional labor in psychotherapy. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with six psychoanalysts. The empirical material was interpreted through a hermeneutic stance with thematic analysis which resulted in four main themes and seventeen sub themes. Results suggest that the psychoanalysts interviewed very rarely seemed to perform emotional labor through surface acting and to a wide extent seemed to perform emotional labor through deep acting, mainly...

The results further indicated that psychoanalysis is not to be regarded as commodified emotional labor. Alternative understandings of psychoanalysis as a social practice were discussed. Psychoanalysis was in contrast to commodified emotional labor stressed as a contribution to the development of love and was suggested mainly as a moral rather than emotional cure. Finally, alternative understandings of the psychoanalyst as a social agent was proposed. From a macro perspective as a winner of emotional capitalism in accordance with Eva Illouz (2007) and from a micro perspective as a stranger in the psychoanalytic situation in accordance with Georg Simmel (1910/1981).
