The aim of this qualitative study is to explore what Marte meo-therapists have experienced working with the Marte meo parenting supporting method. Seven therapists have been interviewed through semi-structured qualitative interviews. Antonovsky’s framework of Sense of Coherence was applied in the analysis of the results (Antonovsky, 2005). The main findings of the study illustrate that the Marte meo-method is experienced to have benefits for both the families and the therapists maintaining a high level of sense of coherence. According to the therapists the parents got a better knowledge of themselves and their children contributing to an enhanced relationship, better communication, and interplay. The Marte meo-method was perceived as a helpful tool allowing skills development among staff and “makes the job a lot of fun” – as one of them had said. However, several respondents experienced a lack of managerial support and leadership which reduced the sense of coherence.
