You never get a second chance for a first meeting : To form an alliance with youths from families with substance abuse, as a support groupleader (English)
Abstract [sv]

Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad ungdomar tyckte var viktigt i det första mötet med terapeuten, och vad i detta möte som fick dem att bestämma sig för att återkomma och påbörja en stödgrupp. Kvalitativa intervjuer genomfördes med sju unga vuxna i tjugoårsåldern som alla hade fullföljt en termin på en stödgruppsverksamhet för anhöriga till missbrukare i Stockholm.

Utskrifterna av de inspelade intervjuerna tematiserades i tre steg genom tematisk analys. Resultaten från de teman som hittades analyserades utifrån teorier om arbetsallians. De främsta fynden i studien pekar mot att terapeuterna fick allians med ungdomarna redan på första mötet.  Terapeutens värme och mänsklighet var en nyckelfaktor som spelade stor roll för att skapa allians med de unga. De uppskattade även äkthet, självkännedom och flexibilitet hos terapeuterna.

I materialet framkommer även att platsen i sig spelade roll. Faktorer som omgivning och inredning spelade roll för ungdomarna.

Slutsatserna indikerar att allians är av största vikt och att det kan vara än viktigare med unga vars frågor är flyktiga och i familjer som kämpar för att hantera vad som ofta är extremt påfrestande situationer, vilket ofta är fallet i beroendefamiljerna.

Abstract [en]

The purpose of this study was to explore what adolescents found important during the introductory meeting with the therapist, as well as which aspects of the initial meeting encouraged them to participate in a support group for codependents. Qualitative interviews were compiled of seven individuals in their early twenties whom had all completed a term at a treatment center for codependents in Stockholm. The transcpripts were thematized in three steps using thematic analysis. The resulting themes were explored from the viewpoint of the Working Alliance Theory. The main findings in this study were that the therapists made a strong alliance at an early stage with the adolescents. The warmth and the humanity of the therapists was a key factor that made an important difference among the adolescents. The therapists expression of authenticity, self- disclosure and flexibility played part in their experience as well.

The environment and furnishings held inviting properties and helped create a relaxed atmosphere.

Conclusions point to the significance of alliance, especially within youth, for whom issues are volatile, and whose families are struggling to manage what often are extremely disruptive situations. These often include problems with addiction of some sort.
