Manualized psychodynamic-interactional group therapy for the treatment of somatoform pain disorders.
2010
Medically unexplained and clinically significant symptoms of pain are highly prevalent in the general population. More than one third of all patients in general practices and various departments of hospitals suffer from somatoform disorders with pain being the main complaint of 70% of these patients. This treatment manual is the first disorder-specific, psychodynamically oriented treatment for these patients. Based on psychodynamic-interactional group psychotherapy, it focuses on disorder-specific aspects as well as on psychic and interpersonal problems which have resulted from adverse childhood experiences and insecure attachment. In three treatment phases comprising an “information and mo…
Disconnected Lives: Trends in Time Spent Alone in Finland
2020
AbstractDiscussions about social isolation have been extensive over the past few decades. A less sociable nature of social ties has been identified in Western societies. The phenomenon has been associated with demographic changes such as aging and living alone as well as changes in the use of new technologies. In this study we employ representative Finnish Time Use Surveys from three decades, 1987–1988 (n = 1887), 1999–2000 (n = 2673) and 2009–2010 (n = 1887) to examine the trends in social isolation, measured as time spent alone. Our results showed that between 1987 and 2010 the time spent alone increased by 124 min per day. The increase was linear and occurred in nearly all population gro…
Newborn infants and the moral significance of intellectual disabilities.
2001
This article presents moral philosophical arguments regarding life-saving medical treatment that may be more available to infants without disabilities than to infants with intellectual disabilities. The ideas are that children with disabilities are a burden to their families and to society and that a happy life may not be attainable for these children and their families. I argue that human well-being is not based merely on individual characteristics, but is a result of the individual's relation to other people. Further, children with disabilities are not inevitably a burden to their families or society. Accordingly, intellectual disability is not a sufficient reason for withholding life-sa…

Engagement of readers/customers in the discourse of e-tourism promotional genres
2017
El turismo 2.0 afecta la comunicación entre viajeros y el sector turístico, y necesita de páginas web que atraigan a los clientes potenciales. La investigación reciente en este campo (Austin 2009; Brodie, Hollebeek et al. 2011) sugiere que también han de incluir la co-creación de valores que se alineen con el cliente de alguna manera. Su diseño ha de ser persuasivo y veraz. Esto se alcanza en parte a través de estrategias discursivas que reflejen la voz de la institución o empresa (el autor), y otras que impliquen al cliente (el lector). Este estudio argumenta sobre la implicación como elemento clave en las webs promocionales (hoteles, guías turísticas, etc.) desde la interpersonalidad, bas…
