Mind the Dog! Det tredje subjektet i den terapeutiska triaden : - Terapeuters erfarenhet av hundassisterad terapi / Mind the dog! The third subject in the therapeutic triad : - Therapists' experience of dog-assisted therapy

Östlund, Anneli January 2020 (has links)
Studiens syfte var att undersöka terapeuters erfarenheter av att arbeta med hundassisterad terapi med kvalitativ metod. Studien bygger på intervjuer med sex yrkesutövare som inkluderade terapihund i sitt klientarbete. Datainsamlingen bearbetades med en tematisk analys vilken gav fyra huvudteman. Kontextuella terapifaktorer, Terapiprocess, Påverkan på terapeutroll och verksamhet och Terapihunden som terapeutisk agent. Resultatet visar att terapihund kan användas som en icke-verbal terapiingrediens, den erbjuder en brygga vid terapialliansbyggande och den inkluderar beröring. Terapeuterna uppfattas ha ett utvidgat ansvar som terapihundförare, och de förefaller ta hand om terapihundarna med stor lyhördhet, vilket ger intrycket att djurens välfärd kan påverkas positivt. Terapihundarna väljs ut och tränas utifrån lämplighet och deras beteenden bygger på väl utvecklade sinnen och ett eget känsloregister. I analysen tolkas terapirelationen som inte bara dyadisk utan också triadisk. I diskussionen konceptualiseras terapihunden från en tvåpersonspsykologisk position. Denna modell föreslår att terapihunden bör erkännas som ett tredje subjekt i den terapeutiska triaden med sin egen subjektivitet, snarare än som endast ett verktyg som kan användas i en terapimetod. Resultatet kopplas till tidigare forskning och framtida forskningsområden diskuteras. / The aim of this study was to investigate how therapists experience their use of dog-assisted therapy with qualitative method. The study is built on interviews with six professionals who included therapy dogs in their work with clients. The empirical data was analyzed thematically and four main themes emerged: Contextual therapy factors, Therapy process, Impact on the therapist role and on the working place and The therapy dog as a therapeutic agent. The results showed that therapy dogs can be utilized as a non-verbal ingredience and as a bridge building alliance and they can offer tactile stimulation. The therapists are perceived to have an expanded responsibility as dog instructors and they seem to care for their therapy dogs with high sensitivity, which gives the impression that it may affect the animals’ welfare positively. The therapy dogs are selected and trained by criteria of suitability and their behaviours are built on their perceptual abilitys and their own emotional range. In the analysis the therapeutic relationship is interpreted as not only dyadic but also triadic. In the discussion the therapy dog is conceptualized from a two-person psychological position. Such a model proposes that the therapy dog should be recognized as a third subject in the therapeutic triad with its’ own subjectivity, rather than only as a tool to be used in a therapeutic method. The findings of the study are related to previous research and future topics of research are discussed.
