”När man kastade ut Freud, kastade man ut ett språk och en begreppsvärld” En kvalitativ studie om psykodynamiska psykoterapeuters erfarenheter av att integrera sexualitet i terapi.
(2025) PTPP06 20241Department of Psychology
- Abstract (Swedish)
- Denna studie undersökte hur psykodynamiska psykoterapeuter med sexologisk kompetens arbetar med sexualitet i det terapeutiska rummet med särskilt fokus på de konstruktiva och utmanande aspekterna. Studien är teoretiskt förankrad i den sexologiska PLISSIT-modellen och psykodynamisk teori. I studien deltog sju informanter, som hade vidareutbildat sig eller utbildats i sexologi på sina arbetsplatser. De intervjuades med semistrukturerade intervjuer och empirin analyserades med kritisk realistisk reflexiv tematisk analys. Informanterna hade genom sexologisk skolning utvecklat språk, kunskap och normkritiskt tänkande som gjorde det möjligt att skapa en tillåtande stämning som bjöd in till samtal om sexualitet. Denna bas gjorde det möjligt för... (More)

Studien är teoretiskt förankrad i den sexologiska PLISSIT-modellen och psykodynamisk teori.

De intervjuades med semistrukturerade intervjuer och empirin analyserades med kritisk realistisk reflexiv tematisk analys. Informanterna hade genom sexologisk skolning utvecklat språk, kunskap och normkritiskt tänkande som gjorde det möjligt att skapa en tillåtande stämning som bjöd in till samtal om sexualitet. Denna bas gjorde det möjligt för psykoterapeuterna att arbeta terapeutiskt med att medvetandegöra hur patienters anknytningsmönster och personlighetsstruktur påverkade kärleks och objektsval. Terapeuterna blev dock själva mer utmanade i att arbeta med sexuell överföring/motöverföring som också involverade terapeutens omedvetna och medvetna reaktioner. Detta är i enlighet med PLISSIT-modellen, då relevanta teman illustrerade olika nivåer att arbeta på terapeutiskt och sexologiskt. Resultaten visar att sexologi bör integreras på psykoterapeut- och handledarutbildning för att kunna behandla hela människor i psykoterapi, Det ges konkreta förslag på interventioner för att integrera sexualitet inom psykoterapeut och handledarutbildningar och appellerar till mer forskning om sexuell överföring/motöverföring.

- Abstract
- This study investigated how psychodynamic psychotherapists with sexological competence work with sexuality in therapy with a particular focus on the constructive and challenging aspects. The study is theoretically anchored in the sexological PLISSIT-model and psychodynamic theory. Seven participants, who had received further education or training in sexology at their workplaces, participated in the study. They were interviewed using semi-structured interviews and the empirical data was analyzed using critical realist reflexive thematic analysis. Through sexological training, the informants had developed a language, knowledge and norm-critical thinking that made it possible to create a permissive atmosphere that invited sexological themes...

Through sexological training, the informants had developed a language, knowledge and norm-critical thinking that made it possible to create a permissive atmosphere that invited sexological themes in therapy. This basis made it possible for the psychotherapists to work therapeutically to raise awareness of how patients' attachment patterns and personality structure affected their choice of love and objects. However, the therapists themselves were more challenged in working with sexual transference/countertransference which also involved the therapist's unconscious and conscious reactions. This is in accordance with the PLISSIT-model, as relevant themes illustrated different levels of working therapeutically and sexologically. The results show that sexology should be integrated in psychotherapist and counsellor training to be able to treat the whole person in psychotherapy. Concrete suggestions are made for interventions to integrate sexuality into psychotherapist and counsellor training, and more research on sexual transference/countertransference in psychotherapy is called for.
