A discourse analysis of experts’ representations of eating disorders in “Ätstörningspodden” (English)
Abstract [en]

In light of the fact that the National Board of Health and Welfare highlights social work's ignorance of eating disorders, this study delves into expert discourses on the subject, which play a crucial role in how eating disorders are talked about and viewed. The purpose of the study is to identify and analyze expert discourses on eating disorders in the podcast Ätstörningspodden and the “truths” they produce about eating disorders, as well as to examine the role and positioning of social work within the field of eating disorder treatment. Bacchi's discourse-analytic WPR approach and Foucault's theory of power and knowledge were used to identify and analyse the discourses. The results and analysis shows that representations of eating disorders are primarily rooted in biomedical discourses, which has implications for social work. The national guidelines highlight ignorance of eating disorders, but this study points to a need to highlight social work's unique contribution, including the importance of preventive work.

Abstract [sv]

Mot bakgrund av att Socialstyrelsen lyfter det sociala arbetets okunskap om ätstörningar fördjupar sig denna studie i expertdiskurser i ämnet, som spelar en avgörande roll för hur det talas om och går att se på ätstörningar. Syftet med studien är att identifiera och analysera expertdiskurser i Ätstörningspodden och de ”sanningar” som de producerar om ätstörningar samt det sociala arbetets funktion och ställning inom ramen för arbete med ätstörningar. Bacchis diskursanalytiska WPR-angreppssätt samt Foucaults teori om makt och kunskap användes vid identifiering och analys av diskurserna. Resultaten och analysen visar att framställningar av ätstörningar främst är förankrade i biomedicinska diskurser, vilket har implikationer för det sociala arbetet. Socialstyrelsens riktlinjer lyfter okunskap om ätstörningar, men denna studie pekar på ett behov av att lyfta fram det sociala arbetes unika bidrag, däribland vikten av det förebyggande arbetet.
