  Makt–trussel–mening–rammeverket (MTMR) ble i 2018 lansert gjennom Den britiske psykologforeningen, som et alternativ til den diagnostiske modell på psykisk helsefeltet. I artikkelen presenterer vi en utforskning av MTMR anvendt i psykisk helsearbeid. Studien var basert på intervju med tre praktikere og tre klienter med erfaring fra samtaler inspirert av MTMR. Refleksiv tematisk analyse ble anvendt og førte til følgende funntema: 1. fra meningsløs sykdom til meningsfull overlevelse, 2. forståelse av MTMR blir til gjennom kompetanse, relasjon og medvirkning, 3. bruk av MTMR gir ny erkjennelse og 4. ny erkjennelse fremmer ny respons og sosial handling. Funnene blir diskutert i lys av kravet om faglig forsvarlighet. Studien tyder på at praksis inspirert av MTMR kan bidra til endring gjennom at klientenes erfaringer anerkjennes, nye erkjennelser skapes og sosiale initiativ mobiliseres.

  Despite growing recognition that wellbeing and recovery are entangled with everyday environments, research in mental health and/or substance use has largely focused on individual experiences or decontextualized indicators, offering limited insights into how social-material conditions of place may enable or constrain recovery processes. This gap calls for empirical studies that explore how wellbeing and recovery are enacted within the contexts of everyday life. This study explores how people with mental health and/or substance use problems engage with everyday places in ways that affect their wellbeing and recovery. Drawing on walking interviews and multi-sited field work conducted in Southern Norway, we analyse how wellbeing and recovery may emerge through situated interactions between people, materials and environments. The analysis identified three key dynamics: 1) in-place attentive responsiveness; where wellbeing and recovery emerge when participants attune and respond to socio-material conditions that a place affords; 2) in-place doing and making, where wellbeing and recovery emerge through tangible engagement in shared practices in a place; and 3) out-of-place disruption by external forces, where imposed agendas undermine place based processes of wellbeing and recovery. Together, these dynamics show how wellbeing and recovery are enacted through ongoing socio-material relations rather than located within individuals. We propose the concept of performative wellbeing to capture this place-based, relational, and materially grounded unfolding of recovery. The findings contribute to the importance of place-sensitive, relationally attuned, and materially enabling service and policy designs.

  This paper explores three socially oriented approaches to mental health recovery: Open Dialogue (OD), Recovery Capital (RC) and the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF). Each approach challenges individualistic and medicalized models by emphasizing social, relational, and material contexts. We argue that these approaches, while distinct, can complement each other in practice. PTMF provides a socio-material understanding of distress as a response to power and threat, RC identifies resources necessary for sustainable recovery, and OD offers a dialogical practice that mobilizes these resources together with the person’s social network. By initiating a “trialogue” between these approaches, we propose a processual model: understanding origins (PTMF), identifying resources (RC), and enacting change through dialogue (OD). We conclude by suggesting directions for integrating these approaches into mental health services and call for further research on their combined potential to foster socially just and contextually grounded practices.

  In mental health and substance use, assessment and the resulting diagnosis determine the choice of treatment or therapy to be used with the individual client. In health policy today, treatment should be evidence based and standardized. Health care thus draws on New Public Management principles, where only those methods and practices considered to be evidence based are accepted in the “market” of public health care. However, we view psychotherapy and mental health work as a meeting between persons that in the spirit of standardization might well be labelled “an individual case.” Psychiatric diagnoses are subject not only to standardization but also to a focus on identity and similarities, as more generally seen in Western science and philosophy. Difference arises when comparing identities; difference is secondary to identities. In this article, we draw on the philosophy of Deleuze and Guattari to explore whether an ontology of difference could be helpful in therapy. An ontology of difference speaks to our experience as therapists, researchers, and teachers that there will always be difference, and that identities are secondary to difference. Rather than providing standardized answers, knowledge is useful for speculating, experimenting, and bringing forth innovative suggestions as to what could be helpful therapy in the individual case. We do not know what psychotherapy and mental health work can become and we need tools for experimentation, suggestions, and visions of what could be helpful. This must be based on collaborative relationships with those who seek help and support. The central question is, then: What can therapy become?

  I dette kapittelet vil vi presentere en utforskning av en konkret samtale mellom «Sophia», en 15 år gammel jente, og «Malin», en psykisk helsearbeider ved en kommunal tjeneste. Utforskningen er inspirert av ideer og begreper fra sosiologien til Johan Asplund og filosofien til Mikhail Bakhtin, som viser hvordan våre menneskeliv blir til i en mangfoldig vev av dialoger og responser. Basert på utforskningen foreslår vi at psykososialt helsearbeid kan forstås som et arbeid for å skape sosiale rom som er livliggjørende. Det kan samtidig være en fare for at disse sosiale rommene fanger oss, eller bryter oss ned, derfor blir det nødvendig også å skape smutthull der en kan tre inn og ut av de sosiale rommene.

  De-institutionalisation can be analysed as the closing of total institutions and the creation of new landscapes at the disposition of persons with mental health problems. These landscapes are everybody's landscape, the cities' cultural, social and commercial offerings, and natural places. It is also a new institutional landscape constituted of social and treatment places. Much attention has been given to the ‘landscape of despair' created in neo-liberal societies, characterised by diverse forms of abandonment. Studies have also focused on specific enabling places. However, a place's role in a person's life depends on the presence of other places. In this chapter we describe and analyse the total institutional landscape in a region of Norway, a welfare society. We found a tight network of places, including the reminiscences of total institutions, and of new social and cultural places. Together they build a rich network of potentially enabling places, but also of tight control.

  This interview article explores how British anthropologist Tim Ingold’s work can inspire innovation in mental health and the psy disciplines. Ingold critiques dominant biomedical and individualistic approaches, arguing for the importance of caring attentiveness and abolishing dichotomies like those between surface and depth, when engaging with people to understand and assist them. Instead, he suggests viewing human existence as correspondences with environmental, social, and relational others. The interview highlights the concept of “doing-undergoing,” proposing that care is a reciprocal, relational process. Ingold’s ideas suggest a shift towards practices that engage directly with the world and promote attentiveness to human and more-than-human relations. The article encourages practitioners, educators and students of mental health disciplines to rethink traditional models and adopt more humane approaches.

  The article presents the Power Threat Meaning Framework (PTMF), which was developed by a working group under the British Psychological Association in 2018 as an alternative to traditional diagnostic systems such as DSM and ICD. PTMF criticises conventional diagnostics for being overly simplistic and based on an implicit assumption of individual vulnerability as the main cause of mental health problems. Instead, PTMF emphasises the importance of social conditions and life events in the development of emotional pain and mental health problems. This perspective entails viewing people’s responses as attempts to deal with threats to their basic life conditions rather than as symptoms of underlying illnesses. The framework is based on a critical reading of the evidence base for existing diagnostic systems and on extensive research supporting alternative understandings of what has traditionally been understood as mental illness. For Norwegian psychologists, PTMF can help enrich evidence-based clinical practice by promoting an understanding of mental illness as meaningful responses to complex life situations. This can be integrated into practice through methodologies such as case formulation, trauma-informed approaches, and network-based working methods that facilitate the exploration of people’s personal narratives and their social context. The article argues that incorporating PTMF as a legitimate conceptual framework in Norwegian health and welfare services could conceivably contribute to a more holistic health service by integrating mental health work with practical help and support from family, friends, and community resources in ways that are more appropriate than the way services work today. PTMF invites psychologists in Norway to challenge traditional models and contribute to more inclusive and contextualised mental health care. With this article, we hope to inspire reflection on new approaches to mental health and debate about the implications of integrating PTMF in clinical work.

  This article introduces the project Return to Reality: What Does the World Ask of Us? This project evolved from a concern that frameworks in mental health operate with knowledge as their primary mode in such a way that reality is lost from sight. This is not primarily an epistemological problem, but an ethical and existential one: ethical because a knowledge-mediated relation to the real can make us blind to the ethical imperatives found in encounters with reality; existential because to be a subject is to respond to what is real. The works of Gert Biesta are a key inspiration. We use Levinas’s, Lingis’s, and Arendt’s ideas to elaborate these concerns. A return to reality is needed; a shift from knowledge-based to reality-sensitive approaches. We relate these ideas to the Open Dialogue approach, with the key imperative of responding to the presence of those present, and to Reflecting team practices, which Tom Andersen describes as being guided by people’s bodily responses.

  The deinstitutionalization of mental health institutions has enabled service users to live in the community and search for what Duff coins ‘enabling places.’ These places were explored through walking interviews, in which service-users led the way. This analysis revealed features which made places promote liveable lives: places help people explore, places help people stand out, places give people responsibilities, and places dare people. An adverse feature was also identified: places define people by their problems. Overall, we suggest that ‘living needs a landscape’ to capture how a diversity of places form an ‘enabling landscape’. This suggests a shift of focus in research and treatment, from internal to external landscapes.

  This interview with Gert Biesta is part of an ongoing research initiative to explore the relationship between reality, social construction, and professional practices within the mental health field. Biesta’s work has been a critical source of inspiration for this project. Biesta’s work centers on the purpose and aims of education, emphasizing subjectification or the process of engaging with one’s own freedom and becoming a subject capable of navigating the world. Biesta argues for a world-centered rather than child-centered or curriculum-centered education. This is not only because education should provide students with the knowledge and skills necessary to act effectively in the world, but most importantly, because the world is where our existence as human beings takes place. Biesta thus engages with ethics and the connection between education and broader philosophical themes and challenges instrumental approaches in favor of seeing education as having intrinsic value for human growth and democratic citizenship. Although Biesta’s work is primarily concerned with educational questions, his ideas transcend education and can prove productive in other domains. In the interview, we extend the conversation to mental health, seeking areas where Biesta’s ideas resonate. In the concluding paragraph, the authors highlight the parallels between education and mental health, particularly their shared emphasis on subjectivity and the challenge of navigating reality. It is suggested that education and mental health intersect in their concern for “subjectness” and how individuals must relate to what the world demands of them.

  Understanding what transpires in therapeutic conversations is as complex as the humans who are engaged in them. Inspired by the natural sciences, mainstream research in psychotherapy has taken up a positivist epistemology and strives for quantification and verification to produce evidence of the effectiveness of an approach. This paper explores an alternative foundation for therapeutic practices which has implications for how we do research. First, we present some ideas from process philosophy and dialogical perspectives.. In particular we return to the ideas of Henri Bergson who understood change as consisting of interpenetrated continuous and shifting states. In a next step we briefly look into how such ideas have influenced what is referred to as dialogical practices. Such dialogical practices operate through facilitating polyphonic, diverse perspectives that may mediate change in and through an intersubjective process of becoming. Based on this we take another step and make some suggestions for how we may develop research that enables ways of exploring therapeutic conversations as a multi-voiced, interactional and unfinalized process. We offer by way of example a method by which we attempt to integrate a linguistic theory (Systemic functional linguistics) with the dialogical framework and the ideas of Bergson. This paper considers how process philosophy may offer an alternative to the seeking of certainty that occurs in both psychotherapy research and practice, and ideas for making space for the ‘loose ends’ of the inconsistent and the unknown.

  This qualitative case study aimed to explore environmental circumstances and inter-actional processes that appeared to be relevant for the dynamics of resilience in ado-lescents exposed to child abuse. Fieldwork at a learning and coping centre forchildren and their families was combined with semi-structured interviews with ado-lescent participants aged 12 to 18 years. A critical realist approach was used tounpack what has been called the‘ordinary magic’of resilience. We found thatinten-sively validating qualitiesof both theenvironmentandrelationshipsseemed to be driv-ing components for resilience. Borrowing ideas from the sociometer theory, wepropose that particularly the consistent intensiveness may offer arecalibrationof theadolescents' immediate life-worlds, in terms of how they perceive the people theymeet and the environments they step into. In keeping with the transactional-ecological model of resilience, we suggest that such a recalibration leads to alteredsocial agency that becomes visible through their immediate social participation.

  This paper points out some problematic aspects of qualitative research based on interviews and uses examples from mental health. The narrative approach is explored while inquiring if the reality of life here is forced into the formula of a chronological story. The hermeneutic approach, in general, is also examined, and we ask if the reality of life in this scenario becomes caught up in a web of interpretations. Inspired by ideas from Bakhtin and phenomenology, we argue for interview-based research that stays with unresolvedness and constantly question the web of interpretations and narratives that determine our experiences. This also chimes with certain dialogical practices in mental health in which tolerance of uncertainty is the guiding principle. Concludingly, we suggest that interview-based research could be a practice of ‘un-resolving’ in which researchers, together with the participants, look for cracks, contradictions, and complexities to prevent the qualitative fallacies of well-organized meanings and well-composed stories.

  Brukarnas erfarenhetsbaserade kunskap har länge tystats ner eller omtolkats enligt de professionellas teorier. Idag bygger en växande forskning på en acceptans av deras erfarenheter. Finns det då inte en risk att berättelserna nu bygger upp ett nytt mönster för vad som kan berättas? I artikeln analyseras ett utdrag ur en intervju om en vändpunkt i en recoveryprocess. Vad som framstår som ohörsamhet och maktutövande från personalen uppfattas i intervjun som tecken på en djupare förståelse. Slutsatsen är behovet av att acceptera avvikande berättelser och hålla samma kritiska distans till brukarnas berättelser, som till professionellas och myndigheternas.

  Humans do not live in a void, but are interwoven with places, rooms, objects, and people. The article investigates how material surroundings are a part of a person’s recovery history. One qualitative interview was analyzed by assemblage theory to clarify the connections and forces between materiality (the non-human) and people (the human). The recovery history has no specific starting point, but shows how the person is moving back and forth between de- and reterritorialization. He is seeking out new and unknown places and people which represent a route towards recovery, and at the same time he returns to a well-known life as a patient. Recovery is a back-and-forth process which implies the importance of preparing for the possibility of moving between the known and unknown state.

  Artikkelen utforsker betydningen av «små ting» i livene til mennesker med psykiske vansker. Utgangspunktet er et intervju der en mann fortalte om et vendepunkt i sin bedringsprosess. En ansatt ved en psykiatrisk sengepost lot han ikke være i fred og provoserte frem ulike responser hos han. Intervjuet utforskes gjennom en fenomenologisk og hermeneutisk «rund-dans» mellom mannens beskrivelser, de inntrykk det gjorde på oss når vi leste dem og ideer fra litteraturen. Vi foreslår at det mannen beskriver kan forstås som et «comeback til sosial responsivitet» og et «etisk-politisk jeg» som trer frem. «Jeg-et» som etikken og politikken er avhengig av står i fare for å forsvinne i psykisk helsearbeid, både i personsentrerte og sosialt orienterte praksiser.
