• Review: Young people’s recovery processes from mental health problems – a scoping review

  2022. Jennie Moberg, Lisa Skogens, Ulla-Karin Schön. Child and Adolescent Mental Health

  Artikel

  Background: Recovery from mental illness and mental health problems is relatively well-researched among adults, but evidence that focuses on the recovery experiences of young people and what characterizes it is scarce. With this in mind, this article aims to map out the existing research in order to identify prevailing knowledge about the recovery of young people between the ages of 12 and 25. Method: Drawing on scoping review methodology, this article is based on an analysis of 33 articles conducted in the USA, Australia, and Eur-ope. Results: Our findings reveal that young people express both similar and divergent lines of reasoning about recovery compared with adults. Our findings also indicate that young people often fluctuate in the way they view recovery, and that they thus tend to be ambivalent about what recovery means. Parents usually high-light the importance of professionals facilitating recovery, while care staff problematize the organizational frameworks available as aggravating circumstances for implementing personal recovery. Young people, parents, and care staff consistently describe recovery as a way to, despite lingering problems, enable a satisfying life. Conclusions: Through this review, we outline the need for a more distinct focus on agency and participation in young people’s recovery processes, at the same time as family involvement needs to be further investigated and operationalized.

• ‘The Great Oblivion’—An Autoethnographic Depiction of Social and Personal Recovery After Electro-convulsive Therapy (ECT)

  2022. Jennie Moberg. British Journal of Social Work

  Artikel

  This article aims to shed light on cognitive disabilities after electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) from an expert-by-experience perspective. It illuminates the living conditions that may follow, with a particular focus on epistemic injustice, societal attitudes, narration and recovery. Since personal narratives about ECT are scant, an autoethnographic method was used through which I weave together my own experiences of ECT and the need for support from, for example, social services, with research in various nearby areas. These experiences were then placed in a wider psycho-social context. Three themes emerged when analysing own experiences of ECT, revealing both risks and important aspects of managing side effects such as cognitive disabilities: (i) At the social services office; (ii) Alienation in society; and (iii) Excerpt from a friendly conversation. Subjective experiences may broaden the understanding of a certain phenomenon which calls for greater (societal) knowledge regarding cognitive disabilities after ECT. It also emphasises the importance of different professionals, including social workers and psychiatric staff, working to promote recovery, legitimise users’ narratives and not seeing disabilities as given obstacles in everyday life.

• Staff’s experiences of implementing patient-initiated brief admission for adolescents from the perspective of epistemic (in)justice

  2022. Jennie Moberg, Ulla-Karin Schön. Frontiers in Psychiatry

  Artikel

  Background: The implementation of Patient-Initiated Brief Admission (PIBA) in child and adolescent psychiatry (CAP) in Sweden is ongoing. This intervention enables adolescents between the ages of 13–17 and with complex mental health problems to initiate a short care period for relief and support rather than the care apparatus being controlling in this process. Offering it is likely to promote epistemic agency, an exchange of knowledge and recovery from mental health problems.

  Aim: The aim of this study was to explore staff’s perspectives of PIBA for adolescents with complex mental health problems, and what facilitates or hinders its implementation.

  Methods: Twenty seven employees, 21 women and six men, with various professions in CAP were interviewed and the material was analyzed thematically.

  Results: Two overall themes emerged: “Staff’s Experiences of PIBA” and “Managing Clinical PIBA Work.” The results were discussed in relation to the theoretical frameworks of epistemic injustice and Normalization Process Theory (NPT). The main findings indicate that PIBA was generally viewed in a positive way, but that obstacles arose when it was actually put into practice. Findings also point at an overall lack of agency among staff when implementing this new way of working, at the same time as the need to adapt PIBA from an adult psychiatric intervention to one for adolescents in CAP is addressed.

  Conclusion: This article offers insights into the views of psychiatric staff regarding the implementation of PIBA. If staff wish to support epistemic agency and recovery among adolescents, their agency may be an important aspect in the continued implementation. Furthermore, in order for PIBA to become normalized in a sustainable way, we suggest that the continued implementation should be characterized by a youth-friendly framework.

• "Det var inte mitt val" - en narrativ studie om upplevelser av elektrokonvulsiv terapi (ECT)

  2013. Jennie Moberg.

  This study aims to highlight patients´ experiences about and thoughts of side effects fromelectroconvulsive therapy (ECT), a therapeutic method commonly used when having severedepressions. The framing of questions were how the respondents of this study describe theirlife before, during and after ECT-treatment, how the treatment has affected their daily life andhow these experiences may contribute to the awareness of power in professional relations.The study is based on three semi-structured narrative interviews and the main result showedthat, according to my interpretation, ECT as a treatment obliterated memories, quality of lifeand daily structure for all participants. Unfortunately they have all become subjects ofpsychiatric power and have faced considerable difficulty in getting professional recognitionaccording to their severe memory issues. The respondents have lost the ability to relate totheir past which clearly makes them struggle in their present context. A point in commonamong them is that neither of them wanted ECT but, because of the lack of communicationbetween them as patients and the health care in general, they all ended up getting it.

• Recovery-oriented work with adolescents facing complex needs: Exploring participation through the triad of adolescents, parents, and staff in psychiatric inpatient care

  2025. Jennie Moberg.

  Avhandling (Dok)

  The promotion of youth participation in healthcare and welfare services has gained global attention, particularly for those with complex care needs. In 2020, Sweden took a major step toward strengthening youth participation by incorporating the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989) into national law. Yet, challenges remain in translating these commitments into practice. In mental health care, user involvement is recognized as essential, but structural barriers often limit its realization. Adolescents in psychiatric inpatient care frequently report low participation in treatment decisions, highlighting the need for models that enhance agency and engagement.

  This dissertation examines youth participation in Swedish Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP), focusing on the relational dynamics between adolescents, parents, and staff. It explores Patient-Initiated Brief Admission (PIBA), an intervention enabling adolescents to independently initiate short enrollments, thereby promoting autonomy and care accessibility. Grounded in recovery-oriented practices, the dissertation delves into how youth participation is operationalized and understood to influence recovery among adolescents with complex mental health problems. Two theoretical frameworks – epistemic injustice (Fricker, 2007) and ecological systems theory (Bronfenbrenner, 1979) – serve as the main analytical lenses. Epistemic injustice is applied to analyze the credibility and knowledge hierarchies in psychiatric inpatient care, particularly how young people’s lived experiences are valued in clinical decision-making. Ecological systems theory offers a multi-level perspective on participation, considering the broader socio-structural and institutional influences shaping interactions in psychiatric inpatient care.

  The research comprises four interrelated qualitative studies: a scoping review of youth recovery literature (study I), and three interview-based studies exploring staff experiences with the implementation of PIBA (study II), staff perspectives on balancing parental involvement with adolescent autonomy (study III), and the views of adolescents and parents on participation during PIBA enrollment and its influence on recovery (study IV).

  The findings indicate that youth recovery is a relational and non-linear process, shaped by trust, agency, and identity development. They point to the importance of care environments that can adjust to adolescents’ evolving needs. The results further highlight systemic barriers, including credibility deficits and the ‘admission game’ phenomenon, which can undermine trust and restrict genuine involvement. Staff face challenges in balancing protection and participation, especially where parental involvement is believed to complicate adolescents’ autonomy. While PIBA appears to offer potential for enhancing participation and fostering autonomy, its effectiveness seems dependent on trust-based collaboration among adolescents, parents, and staff, as well as on adequate staff knowledge and support.

  Ultimately, the dissertation highlights youth participation as a dynamic, context-sensitive process influenced by supportive ecological systems and balanced with protective structures. It suggests that youth participation in psychiatric inpatient care is shaped by integrated approaches aligning provision, protection, and participation – the three pillars of the UNCRC. Strengthening adolescents’ credibility as knowledge holders appears important in addressing epistemic injustice. Revisiting care models to support collaborative decision-making and integrate recovery-oriented principles with participatory practices emerges as valuable. These insights contribute to developing participatory, recovery-oriented mental health care, with implications for staff training, improved communication, and flexible, youth-centered approaches that support adolescents’ active roles in their recovery.

• “It’s an Extra Twist That’s a Bit Tricky to Solve”: Staff Balancing Parental Involvement When Supporting the Participation of Adolescents in a Family-Oriented Practice

  2024. Jennie Moberg. Child & Youth Services, 1-26

  Artikel

  This study explores staff balancing parental involvement when performing recovery-oriented work via Patient-Initiated Brief Admission (PIBA) for adolescents. Data from focus group interviews with employees in Swedish Child and Adolescent Psychiatry (CAP) is discussed and analyzed using ecological systems theory. Findings suggest dualistic views on participation and parental involvement, where safety and security have to be considered supporting adolescents’ participation in psychiatric inpatient care. Staff has the potential to involve parents during PIBA without automatically diminishing adolescents’ participation, and this has to be legitimized if PIBA is to become an integrated tool to promote recovery-oriented care in CAP.
