Meditation, med ett ursprung från yoga, har blivit allt vanligare i friskvården mot fysiska stressymptom exempelvis för att minska muskelspänningar men även som ett verktyg för den egna personliga utvecklingen. Samtidigt som forskningsresultat visar på meditationens betydelse för fysisk kropp och det mentala finns rapporter från forskare som varnar för överdriven tilltro till undersökningar som inte verifierats eller varit undermåliga. Uppsatsens syfte har varit att studera meditation utifrån jungianskt och klassisk yogafilosofiskt perspektiv. Med detta som bakgrund har en intervjuundersökning gjorts för att få meditationsutövares svar på frågor om varför de börjat meditera, vilken effekt på den fysiska och mentala kroppen man upplever i samband med meditation och hur man vill beskriva meditationens betydelse för sin personliga utveckling. Metoden som använts är inspirerad av fenomenografi. Resultaten tyder på att de intervjuade från början fokuserat på meditationens betydelse för att minska stress, spänningar med mera, men efterhand även blivit intresserade av meditation för sin personliga utveckling. De intervjuade beskriver meditationen som ett led i att lära sig förstå dynamiken mellan det medvetna och det omedvetna och få förståelse för sin egen utveckling. Studien visar på betydelsen av god kvalitet på forskningen för att kunna påvisa effekten av meditation och dess möjligheter.

Detta arbete har vi skrivit för att vi ville lära oss mer om på vilket sätt lärare förhåller sig till elevernas etik och moralutveckling i skolans verksamhet. I bakgrunden har vi beskrivit olika forskares syn på barns och ungdomars moralutveckling. Vi har studerat vad som uttrycks i grundskolans läroplan angående etik och moral och även tittat på vikten av att ha en väl förankrad yrkesetik. För att ta reda på hur man arbetar med detta i skolan har vi gjort en kvalitativ intervjustudie med sammanlagt sex stycken yrkesverksamma lärare på två olika skolor. Vårt resultat påvisar vikten av att ha en positiv skolanda för att eleverna skall bli trygga som individer och utveckla ett kritiskt tänkande. En grundläggande förutsättning för detta är lärarnas pedagogiska förhållningssätt, samt att de har en medveten och genomarbetat handlingsplan när det gäller etiska och moraliska frågeställningar. Vår studie visar att de undersökta skolorna saknar detta. / Examensarbete på Grundskollärarprogrammet 1-7 ht 2001.

Att under sin uppväxt förlora en nära anhörig är en svår upplevelse. De barn som drabbas behöver ofta mycket stöd och hjälp ifrån vuxna i sin närhet för att klara av sorgen. Det här arbetet handlar om var vi som lärare kan få stöd i hur vi kan hjälpa dessa barn. Vi tror att många vuxna kan känna sig otrygga i en sådan här situation och kan behöva hjälp och stöd från någon med mer erfarenhet och kunskap i ämnet. Syftet med arbetet var att genom intervjuer med representanter från olika instanser ta reda på var vi kan hitta denna vägledning och hur den i praktiken kan gå till. I litteraturgenomgången tas skolans roll i barns sorg, barns förståelse av döden i olika åldrar och några av de vanligaste reaktionerna upp. Detta för att ha möjlighet att möta dem på så rätt sätt som möjligt. Kunskapen behövs också för att känna trygghet i en svår situation. I resultatet visar intervjusvaren på vilket sätt Svenska kyrkan, den lokala krisgruppen, specialpedagogen och områdeschefen kan vägleda och stödja lärare i barns sorg. Arbetet vänder sig främst till lärare och blivande lärare som möter barn i sorg. / Examensarbete på Grundskollärarprogrammet 1-7 ht 2002.

Spirituality is a neglected dimension in psychology, but has recently been growing in importance. Depression is a widespread phenomenon, worldwide, although presenting differently in different cultures, including South Africa. The aim of this study was to give an opportunity to those who have experienced spirituality and depression to voice their experiences in their respective contexts. The ontological framework was postmodernism and the guiding epistemology was social constructionism. Qualitative research was the method of research selected, because it suited the aims of the research. The specific method of analysis was a "categorical content analysis". In depth interviews with eight participants from various faith backgrounds were conducted. The participants' stories were interpreted by the researcher in the form of themes. Recurring and pertinent themes were compared and discussed with other voices in the field, such as the literature and societal and cultural discourses. The study facilitated rich, detailed and complex descriptions of people's experience of spirituality and depression. The researcher hopes the voice of this research will lead to new understandings of these phenomena in a South African context. / Psychology / D. Litt. et Phil. (Psychology)

O presente trabalho pretende unir-se aos estudos que tratam da experiência mediúnica a partir de uma compreensão propriamente psicológica, tendo como propósito a compreensão das vivências dos médiuns em três grupos religiosos Espiritismo Kardecista, Umbanda e Vale do Amanhecer. Por meio do método etnográfico e da observação participante ativa, tendo por base entrevistas semi-estruturadas e diários de campo, buscou-se compreender a relação do médium com os alegados espíritos e entidades e analisar a repercussão da vivência mediúnica na identidade e na vida do médium, identificando as características semelhantes e divergentes entre essas diferentes práticas sem desconsiderar seu contexto de ocorrência. Um total de quatro indivíduos homens e mulheres com pelo menos dezoito anos de idade por grupo religioso com pelo menos três anos de vinculação foram entrevistados. Tendo como apoio à interpretação mais livre do dado etnográfico, apresentou-se um modelo interpretativo baseado na Identidade Psicossocial, visando aliar a perspectiva da identidade social de H. Tajfel e J. C. Turner com aportes da Psicologia de C. G. Jung acerca da personalidade dos médiuns / This work aims to join the studies about the mediumistic experience from a strictly psychological perspective, with the purpose of understanding the experiences of mediums in three religious groups - Kardecist Spiritism, Umbanda and Vale do Amanhecer (Dawn of the Valley). Through the ethnographic method and active participant observation, based on semi-structured interviews and field diaries, it seeks to comprehend the medium\'s relationship with the alleged spirits and entities and to establish the role of possession on the identity of the medium by identifying the similar and differing aspects between these different religious practices without disregarding their occurrence context. Four individuals - men and women with at least eighteen years of age - by religious group with at least three years engaged on the specific religion were interviewed. In support of a freer interpretation of ethnographic data, it presents an interpretative model based on psychosocial identity (Paiva, 2007), aiming to combine the H. Tajfels and J. C. Turners social identity perspective with contributions of C. G. Jungs Analytical Psychologys on the personality of mediums

The research is qualitative phenomenological perspective. Obviously, there are different treatment modalities in spiritism, however the choice of the participants followed the pattern of volunteering without restricting the type of treatment undergone, gender, reason as to demand treatment or age. Participants were followed up at Spiritual Hospital Patrícia Bacelar (HEPB - Camaragibe / PE). As research instruments, the narrative from Walter Benjamin and the field diary were used to get access to treatment experience in spiritualism. The theoretical framework has been constructed based on the theory Frankl, who understands spirituality as the human dimension, in line with results of this research. To analyze the results, we used the philosophical hermeneutics of Gadamer, who reached a final narrative constructed from the dialogue between the participants, the researcher and the theoretical framework that justified the search. Our results reveal an eminent search for other care that not only the doctor, as well as the use of religious resources as complementary to medical practice. Most of the reports demonstrated the continuity of medical treatments simultaneously spiritual treatment. In this context, the stimulus accountability of the individual for self-care while transcendence proved crucial for adherence to medical treatment as well as to overcome situations of intense suffering. / O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral compreender a experiência de tratamento no espiritismo e, como objetivos específicos, descrever as modalidades de tratamento oferecidas pelo espiritismo, compreender o sentido que leva pessoas a buscarem esse modo de tratamento, compreender a experiência de tratamento e suas possíveis contribuições à saúde mental. A pesquisa é de natureza qualitativa na perspectiva fenomenológica. É sabido que existem diferentes modalidades de tratamento no espiritismo, no entanto a escolha dos participantes seguiu o padrão de voluntariado, não restringindo o tipo de tratamento submetido, gênero, motivo quanto à procura do tratamento ou idade. Os participantes estavam em acompanhamento no Hospital Espiritual Patrícia Bacelar (HEPB Camaragibe/PE). Como instrumentos da pesquisa, a narrativa a partir de Walter Benjamim e o diário de campo foram utilizados para se ter acesso à experiência de tratamento no espiritismo. A fundamentação teórica foi construída com base na teoria de Frankl, que compreende a espiritualidade como dimensão do humano, em consonância com resultados desta pesquisa. Para a análise dos resultados, utilizamos a hermenêutica filosófica de Gadamer, que alcançou uma narrativa final construída a partir do diálogo entre os participantes, a pesquisadora e o referencial teórico que fundamentou a pesquisa. Nossos resultados revelam uma eminente busca por outro cuidado que não apenas o médico, bem como o uso de recursos religiosos como complementares à prática médica. Em sua maioria, os relatos apontam para a continuidade dos tratamentos médicos simultaneamente ao tratamento espiritual. Nesse contexto, o estímulo à responsabilização do indivíduo por seu autocuidado enquanto autotranscendência se mostrou fundamental para adesão ao tratamento médico, bem como para a superação de situações de intenso sofrimento.
