Striden om den korrekte diagnose og hegemoniet inden for et professionelt område: vetenskabsteoretiske og politiske aspekter
No full textAbstract in Danish Denne artikel rejser spørgsmålet om grunderne til neuropsykiatriens dominans inden for feltet mentala forstyrrelser. I kapitlets første del søges orsagerne i neuropsykiatriens videnskablige inhold. Diskussionen vil især dreje sig om neuropsykiatrins klassifikations- og førklaringssystem. Det vil bland andet framgå, at neuropsykiatriens fenomenologisk baserede klassifikationer (DSM) er uforenlige med dens fysilogiske forklaringskrav, hvilket betyder, at det næppe er neuropsykiatriens videnskabelige meriter, der er forklaringen på dens dominans. I kapitlets anden del søges årsagerne til denne dominans derfor snarare i ikke-videnskabelige faktorer. Der findes en række ydre omstændigheder, som er særligt gunstige for det neurposykiatriske paradigme. I den forbindelse vil to faktorer blive diskuteret ingående: det almene kulturelle klima og medicinaindustriens optræden. Konklusionen er, at neuropsykiatrien idag udgør et starkt socio-kognitivt regime, et "sandhedsregime", som er bakket op af politiske og økonomiske intresser

No full textHow are Refugee Children Included?
No full textEvery day more people leave their home country, family and friends because of war and persecution. Of these many are children that will continue their childhood in Denmark and part of that childhood entails being a part of the Danish daycare system. It is on this background this study has been made and its purpose is to study how the pedagogues that work with the refugee children view the social inclusion of them, how those opinions are made and what the consequences of those opinions can be.To answer those questions we have utilized the method of the focus group interview and single person interviews to gather empirical evidence. To analyze the gathered material we have used the both the theory of phenomenology and interactionism. With phenomenology we have a tool to map and illustrate the pedagogues' opinions about the inclusion of refugee children in the Danish daycare system while interactionism provides us with the possibility to go beyond those opinions and see how they are constructed through various acts of interactionism. Our analysis is divided into two parts: One focusing on mapping the pedagogues' opinions of their work with including the refugee children and the other focusing on the processes that creates those opinions and their possible consequences. Our study concludes that a great amount of opinions are shared by all if not most of the pedagogues. Those opinions include that the pedagogues feel it is sometimes necessary to exclude the refugee children in the short run to be able to include them successfully in the long run. They also share the opinion that the long term goal is for the children to grow up and be an active part of society which according to them includes learning the Danish language and values. Besides these criteria of success the pedagogues also experience a lot of shared hindrances on their way to achieving these goals. The most prominent of those issues are language barriers, cultural differences, working together with the children's parents and a lack of education and funds.Our study also showcases that these opinions are a result of interactions not just between the pedagogues themselves, but also between them and the refugee children, their parents and even institutional interactionism. All these interactions are processed by the individual pedagogue and in the end form the individual's opinion of the work with inclusion and the refugee children.In the end our study also looks beyond the questions we tried to answer and ask questions and pose dilemmas about the subject that are worth looking further into. These include but are not limited to the pedagogues lack of knowledge about PTSD and trauma in general, them not working culturally sensitive and the general lack of education about refugee children.<br/

No full textAbstractThe purpose of this thesis is to clarify the social workers’ experiences with the social pedagogical work in a secured institution for young offenders sentenced a youth sanction. The basis in this connection is four social workers, who are all employed at the secured institution Kompasset in North Jutland and their work with the young offenders in the first phase of the youth sanction.The youth sanction has been criticized for being a combination of sanction and treatment, and existing investigations have presented a number of issues with this combination. In this connection it seems interesting to start with the persons, who perform the social pedagogical work and how they experience working in this tense environment. Given that the aim is to investigate the social workers’ experiences working in this tense environment, it is also interesting to investigate how they experience to which extent the punishing elements influence the social pedagogical work.The first part of the analysis will thereby present the experiences and descriptions of the social workers, which have been investigated based on semi-structured research interviews. In the descriptions it is expressed, that the social workers experience this double role in their work, being part of a punishment, but also that it helps them further in their social pedagogical work. They also emphasize in their description a number of positive elements in the framework, among others the imprisonment and the strict framework.In order to analyze the experiences of the social workers, Erving Goffman’s theory on total institutions is applied as well the Howard S. Becker’s theory on condemnation and Alex Honneth’s theory on recognition. Goffman is used for an analysis of whether the institution Kompasset can be regarded as a total institution and whether the description of the social workers may be related to the framework of a total institution. Becker is applied to describe how the youth sanction in itself can be condemning, but at the same time it is also applied to create an understanding of the social workers’ experiences and intentions with regards to the social pedagogical work. It is also described how the social workers’ experience, that the youth sanction and the social pedagogical work do not aim at condemning the young offenders as deviants. In this connection Honneth is applied for an understanding of the social workers’ approach to the young offenders, and the social workers’ experience of the social pedagogical work is analyzed, as well as how they describe, that they aim at creating an appreciative approach to the young offenders.Based on a qualitative analysis this thesis aims at creating an understanding of the social workers’ experience of the youth sanction and the social pedagogical work in a secured institutio
