Abstract (Swedish)
En del psykologer som behandlar individer med trauma får själva samma eller liknande symptom som de som dem exponeras för. Föreliggande studie åsyftar att undersöka hur psykologers upplevelser av och professionella strategier i behandling av krigs-och tortyrtrauma kan förstås utifrån arketypiska gestalter. Sex psykologer från olika delar av Sverige rekryterades för semistrukturerade djupintervjuer. En tematisk narrativ analys med fenomenografisk ansats tillämpades för att bearbeta och presentera den transkriberade datan. Studien identifierade sex arketyper utifrån vilka var och en av psykologernas upplevelser tematiserades och analyserades. De sex arketyper som analyserna utmynnade i var: väktaren, helaren, domaren, den gamle mannen,... (More)

En tematisk narrativ analys med fenomenografisk ansats tillämpades för att bearbeta och presentera den transkriberade datan. Studien identifierade sex arketyper utifrån vilka var och en av psykologernas upplevelser tematiserades och analyserades. De sex arketyper som analyserna utmynnade i var: väktaren, helaren, domaren, den gamle mannen, modern och barnet. Var och en av dessa påvisade olika spänningar, utmaningar och former av sårbarhet i relation till psykologernas patienter. Resultatet visar på vikten av att förstå psykologers möjliga inneboende representationer och den manifesta symbolik de kan innebära för patienter, då det kan ge en mer nyanserad bild av varför de påverkas på ett visst sätt och hur de är med och skapar förutsättningarna för dessa upplevelser.

Abstract
Some psychologists treating individuals with trauma do themselves get the same or similar symptoms as the ones that they get exposed to. The aim of the present study was to explore how the experiences and professional strategies of psychologists treating survivors of torture and war can be understood through the lens of archetypal figures. Six psychologists from different parts of Sweden were recruited for semi-structured in-depth interviews. A narrative thematic analysis with a phenomenographic approach was applied to process and present the transcribed data. The study identified six archetypes through which each of the psychologist’s experiences was thematised and analysed. The six archetypes that the analyses culminated in were: the... (More)

The aim of the present study was to explore how the experiences and professional strategies of psychologists treating survivors of torture and war can be understood through the lens of archetypal figures. Six psychologists from different parts of Sweden were recruited for semi-structured in-depth interviews. A narrative thematic analysis with a phenomenographic approach was applied to process and present the transcribed data. The study identified six archetypes through which each of the psychologist’s experiences was thematised and analysed. The six archetypes that the analyses culminated in were: the guardian, the healer, the judge, the wise old man, the mother, and the child. Each of these manifested different forces of tension, challenges, and kinds of vulnerability in relation to their patients. The results demonstrate the importance of understanding possible inherent representations of psychologists as well as the manifest symbolism that they can signify to their patients, seeing as how it can give a more nuanced way of understanding why they are affected in a certain manner and how they contribute to the creation of the conditions for these experiences.
