Abstract [sv]

Studien syftade till att undersöka socialarbetares erfarenheter gällande relationen mellan emotionellt arbete och professionellt förhållningssätt samt vilken betydelse de upplever att ett professionellt förhållningssätt har, i arbetet med utövare av sexuellt våld. Som metod användes en kvalitativ intervjustudie med ett målstyrt urval av sju socialarbetare med erfarenhet att arbeta med utövare av sexuellt våld. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes och insamlade data analyserades genom tematisk analys. Resultatet visade att socialarbetarna ansåg att ett professionellt förhållningssätt var viktigt i deras arbeten och detta genom bland annat att vara objektiv och respektfull trots klienternas våldsbrott av sexuell karaktär. Det framkom även att socialarbetarna upplevde att det professionella förhållningssättet kunde påverkas av de känslomässiga utmaningar som kom med arbetet. Socialarbetarna använde sig av strategier för att bibehålla det professionella förhållningssättet i känslomässigt utmanande situationer.
