Mod, omsorg och flexibilitet: Psykologers syn på vad som är viktigt i traumabehandling
(2022) PSPR14 20221Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Tidigare forskning om traumabehandling har framför allt undersökt verksamma behandlingsmetoder kvantitativt. Den här studiens syfte var därför att kvalitativt undersöka vad psykologer upplever som viktigt i en lyckad traumabehandling av personer med posttraumatiskt stressyndrom. Intervjuer genomfördes med tio legitimerade psykologer som har klinisk erfarenhet av att arbeta med traumabehandling. En tematisk analys resulterade i tre teman: Mod, villighet och hållande, Det mellanmänskliga mötet och Inte bara en väg framåt. Informanterna förklarade att man som psykolog behöver våga fråga om patientens trauma, våga djupdyka i traumamaterialet samt orka bära patientens berättelse i traumabehandling. Det krävs dessutom mod och motivation från... (More)

Informanterna förklarade att man som psykolog behöver våga fråga om patientens trauma, våga djupdyka i traumamaterialet samt orka bära patientens berättelse i traumabehandling. Det krävs dessutom mod och motivation från patientens sida för att våga närma sig traumamaterialet i traumabehandling. Informanterna underströk också den terapeutiska relationen som en grundförutsättning för traumabehandling och framhöll vikten av att psykologen är närvarande, nyfiken, pålitlig, transparent, tydlig, lyhörd och visar sig kompetent i mötet med patienten. Slutligen lyfte informanterna att det var viktigt att arbeta flexibelt utifrån ett helhetsperspektiv i arbetet med patienter med PTSD. Det innebär lyhördhet och anpassningar inom den psykologiska traumabehandlingen såväl som att ta in insatser utöver psykologisk behandling. Studien ger insyn i vad psykologer i en svensk kontext upplever som viktigt i en lyckad traumabehandling. Vidare forskning inom området, bland annat utifrån patienters perspektiv, efterfrågas. (Less)
- Abstract
- Previous research on trauma treatments has focused mainly on effective treatment methods from a quantitative perspective. The purpose of this study was therefore to qualitatively explore what psychologists’ view as important in a successful trauma treatment with individuals with posttraumatic stress disorder. Interviews were conducted with ten licensed clinical psychologists, who all have clinical experience from working with trauma treatments. A thematic analysis resulted in three themes: Courage, willingness and containing, The interpersonal encounter and Not just one way forward. The participants explained that as professionals they must have courage to ask about the trauma, explore the trauma thoroughly as well as to be able to contain... (More)

A thematic analysis resulted in three themes: Courage, willingness and containing, The interpersonal encounter and Not just one way forward. The participants explained that as professionals they must have courage to ask about the trauma, explore the trauma thoroughly as well as to be able to contain the client’s story. Furthermore, it takes courage and motivation from the client to be able to approach the trauma. The participants underlined the therapeutic alliance as essential to the treatment's outcome, and stressed the urgency of the therapist being present, curious, reliable, transparent, clear, responsive, and competent when seeing the client. Finally, the participants emphasized the importance of flexibility and a holistic perspective when working with clients suffering from PTSD. This included perceptiveness to the client’s needs and adjustments within the psychological trauma treatment as well as to include other efforts beyond the psychological treatment. This study gives insight to what psychologists in a Swedish context find important in a successful trauma treatment. Further research in the subject area, including the clients’ perspectives, is requested. (Less)
