When we don’t speak the same language : A qualitative interview study on family therapists’ experiences of the professional interaction with families of foreign background (English)
Abstract [sv]

Att arbeta som familjebehandlare inom individ- och familjeomsorgen innebär att dagligen möta familjer som bär sin unika historia, sitt kulturella ursprung och livserfarenheter. När familjebehandlare och familj inte talar samma språk kompliceras mötet och utmaningar kan uppstå. Syftet med studien har varit att undersöka familjebehandlarnas upplevelse av mötet med familjer av utländsk bakgrund samt vilka utmaningar och framgångsfaktorer de upplever i mötet. Kvalitativa intervjuer med sju familjebehandlare genomfördes. Materialet transkriberades, kodades och analyserades med tematisk analys. Det socialkonstruktivistiska perspektivet användes då vi ville undersöka ett socialt samspel. Stämplingsteorin användes i analysen, för att förstå komplexiteten samt risker i mötet med familjerna. Centrala begrepp samt tidigare forskning har använts i analysen. Av resultat och analys framkommer det att familjebehandlarna upplever svårigheter med kommunikationen, även då en tolk deltar. Alliansskapandet är det viktigaste och svårt att skapa enligt resultatet. Familjebehandlarna uppger att förändringsarbetet med familjerna allt för sällan ger ett önskvärt resultat.  

Abstract [en]

Working as a family therapist in individual and family-care involves meeting different families, with their own history, culture, and life experiences. The interaction between family-therapist and treatment-family can be complicated if they don´t speak the same language. The purpose of this study has been to investigate the family therapists' experience of challenges and possibilities that occur in the interaction with the families. Qualitative interviews with seven family therapists’ were conducted and the material was transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. The social constructivist perspective was used because we wanted to investigate a situation of social interaction. The labelling theory was used in the analysis to understand which factors affect the interaction with the families. Previous research has been used in the analysis. Results show that family therapists experience difficulties in the communication process, even if an interpreter participates. Alliance is important but difficult to create according to the result, so is a positive treatment result.
