Diagnosekulturen er karakteriseret ved, at ikke alene fagpersoner (laeger, psykologer, psykiatere osv.), men ogsa laegmaend og den brede offentlighed mobiliserer psykiatriske diagnoser og kategorier som meningsgivende fortolkningsrammer for stort set alle former for lidelse og afvigelse. Sporgsmalet er, hvordan den logik har kunnet fa samfundsmaessig fodfaeste. I artiklen forklarer jeg, hvorledes overgangen fra en dynamisk til en diagnostisk funderet psykiatrioptik har banet en del af vejen for diagnosekulturens samfundsmaessige forankring. Men jeg argumenterer ogsa for, at det perspektiv behover at blive suppleret for at give et mere nuanceret billede af, hvorfor diagnosekulturen har kunnet internalisere sig i vores samtid. Som afsaet for den del af analysen benytter jeg mig af en sociologi om diagnoser – en forgrening af sociologien, hvis primaere genstandsfelt er diagnoser – og hvad de kan fortaelle os om forskelligartede sociale udviklinger, processer og ikke mindst den samtid, vi lever i. Naermere bestemt benytter jeg mig af depressionsdiagnosens symptomer til at analysere og tydeliggore, hvordan depressionsdiagnosen kan bruges som seismograf for samtiden. Pointen med denne tilgang er, at jeg dermed bade kan bidrage til en forstaelse af diagnosekulturens tilstedevaerelse samt orientere om, hvilket ideelt selv samtiden efterstraeber. \u0000 \u0000 \u0000ENGELSK ABSTRACT: \u0000 \u0000Anders Petersen: Diagnostic Culture – Depression as a Seismograph for Contemporary Times \u0000 \u0000This article discusses the development of a diagnostic culture. A diagnostic culture is characterized by the fact that not only professionals (doctors, psychologists, psychiatrists, etc.), but also laymen and the general public use psychiatric diagnoses and categories for understanding psychiatric disorders. The question then is how this logic has been able to anchor itself in the overall nexus of society. In this article, I explain how the transition from dynamic to diagnostic psychiatry has paved part of the way for the societal anchoring of a diagnostic culture. I also argue that this perspective should be expanded in order to provide a more nuanced picture. To do that I employ diagnostic sociology – a branch of sociology whose primary subject is diagnoses and what they can tell us about diverse social developments, processes, and especially the contemporary epoch in which we live. I use symptoms of the contemporary diagnosis of depression to analyze and clarify how the diagnosis of depression can be seen as a seismograph of our current epoch. The article aims to contribute to a better understanding of the presences of the diagnostic culture as well as analyzing which type of ideal self that contemporary society strives to be. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: Diagnostic Culture, depression, self-realization, diagnosis of the times, sociology of diagnosis.","PeriodicalId":85215,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk psykologi","volume":"26 1","pages":"9-26"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68598793","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this article, I deal with a number of important issues of racism and provide enduring tools for investigating whether an incident, a trend or routine constitutes racism in a research based analysis.

The article is based on two decades of research in Denmark and employs this research to discuss the concepts of race, ”race”, racialization, racism and neo-racism. It also presents literary and historical experiences that, in my opinion, must be included for a healthy, critical dialogue about racism in Denmark based on a sociological and anthropological foundation. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: racialisation, neoracism, racism, neonationalism, cultural war, incompatibility.","PeriodicalId":85215,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk psykologi","volume":"26 1","pages":"29-50"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68599605","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bandet mellem skyld og straf var brudt, og foranstaltninger skulle vaelges ud fra det, som tjente gerningsmandens genindtraeden i samfundet bedst. Frem for afsoning i faengsler, skulle landets domte afsone i abne anstalter, sa de kunne bevare deres tilknytning til det omkringliggende samfund.

This is due to the Greenlandic criminal code from 1954. Prisons had no place in this criminal code – nor in Greenland. The link between guilt and punishment was broken and measures were to be chosen based on what best served the re-entry of the offender into society. Instead of serving a sentence in prison, the country’s offenders were to serve in open institutions in order to retain the connection to the surrounding community. \u0000Now Greenland is expected to open its first prison in 1917, and the idea of Greenland as the country without prisons will be history. However even before the first prison is built, Greenland ranks as the 33rd most punishing country in the world with 309 inmates per 100,000 inhabitants. The article examines how everyday life in Greenlandic institutions for convicts differs from everyday life in prisons, in order to assess whether the comparison is carried out between widely different units when Greenland is included in international statistics of prison populations. \u0000 \u0000Keywords: imprisonment, resocialization, criminology, social anthropology.","PeriodicalId":85215,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk psykologi","volume":"25 1","pages":"35-53"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68598460","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Hvor den anti-urbane fortaelling var fremherskende fra sidst i 1960’erne, hvor byerne var associeret med danskhed og fremmedgorelse, og gronlaenderen og byen blev set som uforenelige storrelser, blev den fra 2000 i stigende grad aflost af en mere inkluderende og kompleks gronlandskhed. I landskabsterminologi var situationen den, at folk levede et utilpasset, danskpraeget dagligliv i byen, men dromte om et andet liv i pagt med gronlandske traditioner og vaerdier.

The purpose is to show how and why Nuuk is contested and how this perspective has changed over time. Using the concept of landscape defined as a relation between the foreground (the way we are now) and background (how we could be) of social life, the article demonstrates how this perspective of the town is connected with the political development in the country. The anti-urban narrative was dominant from the late 1960s when towns were associated with “Danishness” and alienation, but it was increasingly replaced by a more inclusive and complex “Greenlandicness” from around 2000. In landscape terminology it appeared that people lived incompatible “Danish” everyday lives in towns, but dreamt about another life more in agreement with Greenlandic traditions and values. While foreground and background used to be far apart, they have come closer as the town has been appropriated as a Greenlandic landscape. Thus the status of Nuuk has changed towards increasing approval. However, Nuuk is also criticized for carrying on a Danish policy of dominance and centralizing. In this sense it is still considered “a piece of Denmark on rocks”. \u0000Keywords: Greenland, Nuuk, urban studies, landscapes, migration.","PeriodicalId":85215,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk psykologi","volume":"25 1","pages":"13-33"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68598367","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pathological gambling is used as an example of the high prevalence of social problems that proposes a current challenge in modern Greenland. The association between pathological gambling, use of alcohol and marijuana is also analyzed. Data was collected in towns and villages across Greenland as a part of the international study Inuit Health in Transition. A total of 2454 persons were interviewed and 2189 of these also filled out a self-administered questionnaire. The study shows that the prevalence of pathological gambling is lower among hunters and fishermen in villages and professionals in towns than in other social groups. In addition the prevalence of harmful use of alcohol and marijuana among pathological gamblers was relatively high. A significant association between pathological gambling and social groups defined by their involvement in the ongoing social transition suggests that people caught between tradition and modern ways of life are especially vulnerable. Furthermore, the association between pathological gambling and other addictive behaviors underlines the importance of a comprehensive approach in understanding these phenomena. \u0000 \u0000Ke","PeriodicalId":85215,"journal":{"name":"Nordisk psykologi","volume":"25 1","pages":"55-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68598578","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
