The construal of romantic relationships in transgendered people : a personal construct approachZarroug, Amani January 2012 (has links)
National Health Service (NHS) statistics show that 4000 people in the United Kingdom are receiving help for gender concerns (DH, 2008). Research has highlighted the importance of romantic relationships during early adulthood and an association with mental health (Fincham and Cui, 2011). The experience of romantic relationships among transgender people in ‘emerging adulthood’ (Arnett, 2000, 2006) is an under-researched area. The decision making process concerning, and construal of, romantic relationships among this group have yet to be investigated using Personal Construct Theory (PCT). This study uses qualitative and quantitative methods of inquiry from PCT to investigate the experiences of transgender people encountering romantic relationships. Overarching themes emerging from the participants in this study were of identity validation through romantic relationships, having a bi-gendered lens of the world, facilitating greater understanding in society, and learning from past relationships. Participants’ experiences are analysed individually, as well as as a group. Clinical significance of this, limitations and future research are also discussed.

Syrian Mass Migration and Turkey’s Pursuit of Regional Power : A Thematic Content Analysis of Davutoglu’s SpeechesCetiner, Zeynep January 2024 (has links)
This thesis investigates the role Turkey’s pursuit of regional power status plays in its narrative of Syrian mass migration from 2011 to 2014. By thematically analyzing 23 speeches given by Ahmet Davutoglu, the Foreign Minister at the time, this paper explores different themes that emerge both in Turkey’s approaches to Syrian migration and in their pursuit of regional power status. This study also aims to bridge the gap between migration studies and International Relations theories by using the theoretical concept of constructivism to help explain the approach Turkey has for its foreign policy. The main themes that emerge from Davutoglu’s speeches demonstrate the multilayered nature of both the Syrian migration crisis that altered the whole region and Turkey’s perceived rise to power.

Therapists' perceptions of their roles and functions in imago relationship therapy.Gerrand, Melanie 05 August 2010 (has links)
Couple therapy research demands a shift in focus from quantitative to qualitative studies
that explore therapist behaviours such as the role of the therapist due to the significant
gap between research and practice, where research is often irrelevant and inaccessible to
clinicians, and errors in practice are repeated and perpetuated as a result of lack of
insight into therapeutic functions. Research on couple therapies also lacks focus on
recent modalities such as Imago Relationship Therapy (IRT), a formative and recent
modality of couple therapy in South Africa and internationally that requires empirical
research and evaluation. Studies addressing therapist qualities and skills necessary in
dealing with diverse populations such as South Africa are also lacking. The subjective
experiences and perceptions of eight Imago relationship therapists practicing in a South
African context were thus explored and described within a qualitative paradigm to
provide an in-depth account of their role. Semi-structured individual interviews were
used to explore their role, and responses recorded and analysed using thematic content
analysis. Findings highlighted underlying complexities of this role as a result of evident
contradiction, irony, and paradox within participants’ experience. Firstly, the core
function of establishing safe connection for the couple proved ironically ‘unconnecting’
and theory-driven in nature, which also provides a sense of safety and reduced
responsibility for the therapist. The role of the Imago therapist was also indicated to be a
part of participants’ identity and life philosophy. The second theme highlighted the
inherently paradoxical nature of the role because perceptions of a ‘non-expert’ and
‘background’ role in fact requires active and expert therapeutic functions as they remain
acutely connected to the couple’s process. Thirdly, the intuitive nature of this role was
reiterated as participants’ experienced both favourable and limiting therapeutic
encounters in a positive and congruent way, which has implications for increased
therapeutic growth. Finally, although participants’ experience of their role in South
Africa highlighted IRT’s underlying theoretical orientation of universal connection, they
did not seem aware of this underlying theory as informing practice. This raises questions
about implications on their role given the importance of theory in influencing the way
the therapist thinks about the client. Findings generally contribute to narrowing the
research-practice gap providing insight into the practice of Imago therapy, which may in
turn add to richness of theory.

First year students' narratives of 'race' and racism in post-apartheid South Africa.Puttick, Kirstan 10 February 2012 (has links)
The democratic elections in 1994 marked the formal end of apartheid. During apartheid
'race' was, for the most part, a somewhat rigid construct which, despite many nuances and
complexities, typically seemed to frame whiteness as dominant, normative and largely
invisible, and blackness as subordinate and marginalised. The transformations brought
about in post-apartheid South Africa have heralded many positive reformations, such as
macrolevel institutional changes. However, many of apartheid's racialised patterns of
privilege and deprivation persist and 'race' continues to influence the identities of South
Africans. Furthermore, an inherent tension exists in South Africa's social fabric, where ‘race’
and racism are often juxtaposed against narratives of the Rainbow Nation and
colourblindness. This study, which is framed by critical 'race' theory and social
constructionism, aims to explore the extent of the fluidity and rigidity of 'race', racialisation
and racialised identities in post-apartheid South Africa by exploring the narratives of black
and white first year students. This study collected the narratives of seven black and seven
white first year South African university students. It was found that South African youth
identities can be seen to be functioning in relation to and reaction against both South
Africa’s racialised past as well as its present socio-cultural context. It was found that the
racialised patterns which characterised apartheid still impact on black and white youth
identity in contemporary South Africa. For instance, despite the many disruptions to
whiteness post-1994, it was noted as still being a normative and dominant construct to
some extent. Similarly, despite attempts to rectify power imbalances in the new South
Africa, blackness is still constructed as being somewhat other and inferior. However, many
alternative voices emerged which subverted these narratives, suggesting that identity is in a
state of flux. Thus, despite the continued influence of apartheid’s racialised patterns of
identity, shifts and schisms are appearing in post-apartheid racialised identity, where issues
of racialised dominance and power relations are no longer as clear cut as they once were.

The complicated struggle to be a support : meanings of being a co-worker, supervisor and closely connected to a person developing burnoutEricson-Lidman, Eva January 2008 (has links)
The overall aim of this thesis is to illuminate meanings of being a co-worker, supervisor and closely connected to a person developing burnout, and to describe perceptions of signs preceding burnout. The thesis comprises four papers and is based on qualitative data. In papers I and II, the data material consisted of interviews with 15 female coworkers of a person developing burnout, in paper III, interviews with 12 supervisors to care providers suffering from burnout, and in paper IV, interviews on two occasions with 5 people closely connected to a person developing burnout. Thematic content analysis (I) and phenomenological-hermeneutic method (II, III, IV) was used to analyse/interpret the interview text. The findings show that the coworkers retrospectively recalled different signs preceding their workmate’s burnout. They describe that their workmate was struggling to manage alone and was showing self-sacrifice. Co-workers also describe that their workmates were struggling to achieve unattainable goals and were becoming distanced and isolated. Finally, the co-workers describe that their workmates were showing signs of falling apart (I). Meanings of being a female co-worker to a person developing burnout are struggling, on the one hand to understand and help the person with symptoms of burnout, and on the other to manage one’s own work. This burdensome situation means that the co-workers are filled with contradictory and frustrating feelings and when the workmate is finally sick-listed, troubled conscience arise in the coworkers (II). Meanings of being a supervisor for care providers suffering from burnout are struggling to help the care provider continue to work, but being responsible for the unit, the supervisors are forced to ensure that the work is carried out. As the situation proceeds, supervisors are trapped in a predicament, unable to help and feeling inadequate. When the care provider is sick-listed, feelings of self-blame arise. When the time comes for rehabilitation the supervisors are once again caught between conflicting demands in a seemingly impossible mission (III). Meanings of being closely connected to a person suffering from burnout are putting one’s life on hold in order to help the person, striving to stand by to the person developing burnout, regardless of one’s own needs. Those closely connected are saving the face of the person developing burnout in order to protect them from stress. As the situation proceeds, those closely connected carry the burden alone in this strained situation and sometimes they are treated with disrespect by the person developing burnout, a situation which reveals their own suffering. Striving to find recuperation engenders troubled conscience. This situation reveals a huge need for support for those closely connected to a person developing burnout (IV). The comprehensive understanding is that meanings of being a co-worker, supervisor and closely connected to a person developing burnout are, on the one hand, a complicated struggle to support the person and on the other to shoulder a heavy burden. They try to do everything they can to help and support the person developing burnout (II-IV), these attempts, however, do not seem to reach through (I-IV). Co-workers describe signs that something is the matter (I), but they (co-workers, supervisors and those closely connected) do not understand what is happening (IIIV). This burdensome situation is full of conflict for those involved, torn between the complicated struggle to support the person developing burnout and to manage this burdensome situation. Faced with their own shortcomings, troubled conscience arises. The comprehensive understanding of the four papers (I-IV) are discussed and reflected on with the help of social support theories and the ideas of the Danish philosopher Lögstrup’s thoughts about the ethical demand.

Hjälpsökande vid spelmissbruk : En kvalitativ studie om människor med spelmissbruk och deras upplevelser av att söka eller inte söka hjälp / Help-seeking among people with gambling addiction : A qualitative study of people with gambling addiction and their experiences of seeking or not seeking helpHolmgren, Eskil, Nilsson, Isabelle January 2018 (has links)
The aim of this study was to reach an understanding and examine the experiences people with gambling addiction had related to their help-seeking or the absence of it. More precisely we wanted to examine reasons for not seeking help but also explore what motivates people with gambling addiction to seek help. To capture these individual experiences we have used a podcast called “Bettingtorsken” as our empirical material. The podcast contains interviews with people that has experienced the negative consequences of gambling. The method of the study was a thematic content analysis, where codes and patterns in the material led us to develop relevant themes. Five themes were identified that seemed to play an important role to their help-seeking or the absence of it, those were: the importance of the environment, obstacles, motivating factors, mental health and secrets. The result showed that people with gambling addiction is motivated by the willingness to be honest. The results also suggest that the consequences must be really serious before they are motivated in seeking help. Furthermore the results indicate that mental health can be both an obstacle and a motivational factor regarding the willingness of help-seeking. Another important result suggests that most people with gambling addiction thinks that secrets are in their way of help-seeking and that honesty is needed in the help-seeking process. Finally, results also showed that the environment could have both a positive and negative impact on the help-seeking, although the latter was most prominent. One example of a negative aspect is that people with gambling addiction experiences that authorities and the social network are nonchalant about the addiction.

Swedish student-athletes’ within-career transitionsFryklund, Sverker January 2012 (has links)
Syftet med föreliggande forskningsprojekt var att undersöka upplevelser av karriärövergångar hos elitidrottande studenter, på högsta nationella nivå, som strävar efter att etablera sig även på internationellt högsta nivå inom sin idrott, samtidigt som de börjar studera vid universitet/högskola och så småningom tillägnar sig en examen. Semistrukturerade intervjuer användes för att kartlägga och undersöka de elitidrottande studenternas upplevelser. De kategorier som identifierades genom tematisk innehållsanalys var upplevda förändringar i övergången, karriärstöd, resurser för att anpassa sig till den nya nivån i idrotten, upplevd tillfredsställelse med situationen, strategier för att anpassa sig till den nya nivån i idrotten, upplevda förändringar under en dubbel karriär (studier och idrott), upplevelsen av att kombinera studier, idrott och ett “vanligt” liv, och strategier för att hantera detsamma. De elitidrottande studenterna lyfte fram kontinuerligt karriärstöd, interpersonligt stöd och betonade behovet av att utveckla coping strategier som stresshantering och time- management. Åtgärder för att underlätta framgångsrika karriärövergångar för elitidrottande studenter diskuteras. / The main purpose of this research project was to examine perceptions of within-career transition, as experienced by student-athletes striving to reach the international level. Interviews were used to examine the perceptions of student-athletes practicing individual sports at the national elite level. Eight categories were identified through thematic content analysis: changes experienced in the transition, career assistance, resources for adjusting to the new level in sport, satisfaction with their current situation, strategies for adjusting to the new level in sport, changes during a dual career, combining studies and everyday life, and strategies for adjusting to a dual career. The student-athletes emphasised prolonged career assistance, interpersonal support, dedication, and commitment, and recognised the need for coping strategies such as stress and time management. Suggestions for promoting successful within-career transitions for student-athletes are discussed.
