Affektfokuserad psykoterapi är på frammarsch i västvärlden och forskningen indikerar goda resultat. Vidare är handledning ett viktigt moment för många yrkesgrupper, inte minst för psykoterapeuter. Det finns mycket forskning om handledning i allmänhet, däremot finns det inte så mycket forskning om effekter av grupphandledning. Syftet med denna studie var dels att undersöka vad en teoretisk utbildning samt metodhandledning i grupp i affektfokuserad psykoterapi kommit att betyda för fem deltagande psykoterapeuter, dels att se på vilket sätt de använder sig av affektfokuserad psykoterapi. Metoden som använts i studien har en kvalitativ ansats och den baseras på semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visar att metodhandledningen var mycket värdefull. Samtliga informanter sade sig vara nöjda med metodhandledningen, även om den också många gånger var känslomässigt utmanande. Alla sade sig vara intresserade av affektfokuserad psykoterapi, och hade stor nytta av metodens olika inslag i mötet med patienter. Däremot använde sig ingen av metoden på ett renodlat sätt i sin kliniska verksamhet. / Affect-focused psychotherapy is on the march in the western world and the research indicates good results. Furthermore, supervision is a valuable element for many professionals, especially for psychotherapists. There is much research on supervision in general, however, there is not much research on the effects of group supervision. The purpose of this study was to investigate what the theoretical training and method group supervision in affect-focused psychotherapy have come to mean for the five participating psychotherapists, and to see how they make use of affect-focused psychotherapy. The method used in the study has a qualitative approach and it is based on semi structured interviews. The results show that method supervision was very important. All respondents said they were satisfied with the method supervision, although many times it was emotionally challenging. All said they were interested in affect-focused psychotherapy, and had great use of the method and its various elements with their patients. However none used the method in a pure manner in their clinical activities.

McCullough in the 1920s and 1930s. His concern for aesthetic value fostered bridge designs that are unique in their architectural details and enhance their natural surroundings. Unfortunately, several of McCullough's bridges have deteriorated with age requiring the Oregon Department of Transportation to devise solutions which keep these bridges safe for public use and at the same time retain their historic quality. The purpose of this thesis project was to develop a typological study of his bridge designs, investigate the results of strategies applied to maintain them, and provide an analysis of the extent to which they sustain the historic integrity of structures they were applied to. It is hoped this study will help inform future decisions made regarding the effective preservation of McCullough's legacy. / Committee in Charge: Leland M. Roth, Chair; Robert W. Hadlow

In this essay I explore how dance can be interpreted as a theological practice. I stage an encounter between the lived experience of the dancer’s body and word-based tradition of theological discourse. This encounter between the word and the image of dance reveals the limitations of theological discourse to account adequately for the full range of human and creaturely experience that have its sources in colonialism and imperialism. This paper argues that introducing the image of dance and the lived experience of the dancer into theological discourse then will serve to reduce the effects of these dangerous prejudices. This essay will use two of Simone Weil's most well-known concepts, attention and presence. They will serve as the interpretive bridge for a dialogue between dance and theology. I will focus on the experience of dancing and explain how this subjective, embodied practice of movement can enhance theology. At a time of great instability and uncertainty globally with ecological crises, racial injustice, and economic disparity on one hand and the rise of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and despair on the other hand, it is important that we find new ways to cultivate inner peace and encourage responsible action. And important way to do this is to welcome the creative opportunities of instability and uncertainty, of the unknown and the unexplored.  Dance and theology—in collaboration and conversation—can offer useful resources for cultivating these practices that allow us to meet these challenges with faith, hope, and love.
