Dissociation hos Transpersoner: Transpersoners egna upplevelser
(2023) PSPR14 20231Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Sju intervjuer genomfördes i syfte att undersöka hur dissociation upplevs bland transpersoner och om, och i så fall hur, dissociation relaterar till könsdysfori. Deltagarna bestod av transpersoner som hade haft minst en tidigare dissociativ upplevelse, vilken de sedan skulle beskriva under intervjun. Materialet analyserades genom realistiskt grundad tematisk analys där likheter som framträdde bland deltagarnas upplevelser summerades. Det förekom flera likheter i de dissociativa upplevelserna som deltagarna beskrev: nästan alla deltagare kände sig frånkopplade från sin kropp i helhet (i kontrast till att känna sig frånkopplad från en specifik kroppsdel) eller upplevde sig frånkopplade från omvärlden och/eller sitt jag; fem agerade ut skilda...

Nästan alla beskrev att dissociationen lindrades efter könsbekräftande hormonbehandling. Deltagarna tenderade att differentiera mellan dysforiska och dissociativa upplevelser genom vilken känsloladdning de hade: dysforiska upplevdes mer direkt obehagliga, medan dissociativa var mer emotionellt avtrubbade. Resultatet visar att kopplingarna mellan dissociation och könsdysfori behöver utforskas vidare. (Less)
- Abstract
- Seven interviews were conducted to explore how dissociation is experienced among transgender people and, if so, how dissociation is related to gender dysphoria. The participants consisted of transgender people who have had at least one dissociative experience, which they would then describe during the interview. The material was analyzed through a realistic thematic analysis, where similarities between the participants experiences were summerized. There were several similarities between the dissociative experiences the participants described: almost all felt themselves disconnected from their body as a whole (in contrast to feeling disconnected to a specific body part), or from the world around them and/or themselves; five acted out...

The material was analyzed through a realistic thematic analysis, where similarities between the participants experiences were summerized. There were several similarities between the dissociative experiences the participants described: almost all felt themselves disconnected from their body as a whole (in contrast to feeling disconnected to a specific body part), or from the world around them and/or themselves; five acted out different personalities or felt emotionally numb when they were dissociating. Almost all described that their dissociation lessened after they started gender-affirming hormone replacement therapy. The participants tended to differentiate between dysphoric and dissociative experiences by emotional content: dysphoric experiences were more directly distressful, while dissociative experiences were more emotionally numb. The result shows that the connections between dissociation and gender dysphoria needs to be explored further. (Less)
