Psychotherapy with intimate partner violence perpetrators : A qualitative interview study with psychodynamic trained psychotherapist about their experience of psychotherapy with intimate partner violence perpetrators (English)
Abstract [sv]

Inledning: Mäns våld mot kvinnor är ett allvarligt samhällsproblem och ett folkhälsoproblem som måste bekämpas på flera olika sätt. Sammanfattningsvis är forskningsunderlaget för individuell psykoterapi med klienter som utövat våld begränsat och med specifikt psykodynamisk skolade psykoterapeuter ännu outforskat.

Syftet: Syftet med den här studien var att undersöka hur psykodynamisk skolade psykoterapeuters erfarenhet av psykoterapi med klienter som utövat våld ser ut. Hur arbetar man? Vad är hjälpsamt?

Metod: En kvalitativ metod. Psykodynamiskt skolade legitimerade psykoterapeuter intervjuades. Datan analyserades med tematisk analys.

Resultat: Tre huvudteman framkom med tillhörande subteman: 1. Prioritering av klientens egen traumatisering är en nödvändighet 2. Våldet är i fokus i psykoterapin 3. Relationens är av betydelse i psykoterapin.

Diskussion: Huvudfynden visade att erfarenhet fanns hos psykodynamisk skolade psykoterapeuter att bedriva psykoterapi med klienter som utövat våld. Både möjligheter och svårigheter framkom. Psykodynamiska interventioner användes i psykoterapin gemensamt med ett eklektiskt förhållningsätt. Relationen i psykoterapin användes som intervention och för att härbärgera klienten. Studiens resultat visar att psykoterapi med psykodynamisk skolade psykoterapeuter kan också vara en potentiell behandling att erbjuda klienter som utövat våld. Mer forskning behövs inom området.  

Abstract [en]

Introduction: Men's violence against women is a major social problem and a public health problem that must be combated in several different ways. In summary, the research about individual psychotherapy with intimate partner violence perpetrators is limited and with specifically psychodynamically trained psychotherapists are still unexplored.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate how psychodynamically trained psychotherapists experience psychotherapy with intimate partner violence perpetrators. How do they work? What is helpful?

Method: A qualitative method. Psychodynamically trained licensed psychotherapists were interviewed. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis.

Result: Three main themes emerged with associated subthemes: 1.Prioritization of the client's own traumatization is a necessity 2. Violence is in focus during psychotherapy 3. The relationship is important in psychotherapy.

Discussion: The result of the study highlights that psychotherapy with psychodynamically trained psychotherapists can also be a treatment for intimate partner violence perpetrators. Both opportunities and difficulties emerged. Psychodynamic interventions are used in psychotherapy together with an eclectic approach. The relationship in psychotherapy is used as an intervention and as a tool to contain the client. The results of the study show that psychotherapy with psychodynamically trained psychotherapists can also be a potential treatment to offer intimate partner violence perpetrators. More research is needed in the area.
