“…This process is characterized by a sense of insecurity about motherhood, which is strongly determined by demands self-imposed by women, by social demands and the models experienced during their own childhood that add the fear. Therefore, it is essential to recognize, during pregnancy and the postpartum period, the impact produced by the arrival of a child in the woman and her family, supporting new mothers to understand this is their child and they are perfectly capable to look after their needs (20) .…”

“…Furthermore, psychosocial thinkers such as Hollway and Jefferson (), Rudberg and Nielsen (), Venn (), Urwin et al (), and Wetherell () support the idea of a psychosocial theoretical approach when analysing qualitative interview data in particular. This is because psychoanalytical concepts can be helpful in exploring their specific positioning in historically constituted discourse that each person has to locate for themselves or their children (Frosh, Phoenix, & Pattman, ).…”

“…Psychosocial research is concerned with the interview subjects as well as cultural understandings, such as leading discourses of childhood that are jointly viewed as significant contributions to data analysis (Thomson, Moe, Thorne, Nielsen, 2012, Urwin, Hauge, Hollway, & Haavind, 2012, Hollway, 2013. Following other psychosocial researchers, such as Hollway and Jefferson (2005), Rudberg and Nielsen (2005), and Urwin et al (2012), this article draws on discursive perspectives combined with psychoanalytic thinking "to inform" the qualitative analysis of the interview data.…”

“…Together, the “psycho” and the “social” perspectives provide an interdisciplinary understanding that provides the opportunity to expand awareness regarding social discourses and psychological elements. However, this theoretical angle requires an analytical awareness that entails paying attention to the interview subjects and cultural understandings that co‐operatively work together to make an important contribution in the data analysis (Hollway, ; Thomson et al, ; Urwin et al, ).…”

Parents with troubled upbringings and their perception of childhood

Applying qualitative data from a 30‐year‐long follow‐up study, this article examines how 30 parents with troubled upbringings talk about and present their children through stories about parenthood. Two overall themes were identified: (a) the perception of childhood with the associated subcategories “being engaged in school” and “the value of eating rituals and leisure activities” and (b) having agency with the associated subcategories “being heard and put first” and “meeting the children's needs.” The findings exemplify how these parents' backgrounds build into current discursive understandings about parenthood and childhood and how conflicting emotions from their own childhood affect their present view of their children. Attention is paid to the idea of how these parents “invest” in discursive positions regarding their children. The findings apply to both theoretical and practical social work, addressing the need for an understanding of how parents with troubled childhoods understand and consequently interact with their children.

“…Is it possible to expand upon the answers that we and others have previously given, wherein we argue that a possible methodology could be comprised of proximity in the field and distance during parts of the analytical process? Might it even be possible to pinpoint which qualities are present in the way researchers are affected and affect the field (Kofoed, 2004;Thomson, Moe, Thorne & Nielsen, 2012;Urwin, Hauge, Hollway & Haavind, 2013)? For example, what role is played by feelings like the heroic urge to act, by fear, sympathy, or vanity?…”

Hesitancy as ethics

In this paper we suggest hesitancy as ethics as a research strategy for researchers in the midst of fieldwork. We focus on the uncomfortable, unclear and uncertain aspects of researcher subjectification in fieldwork and argue that such uncertainty promises potential when it comes to stipulating ethical requirements and strategies. The suggested strategy involves assuming uncertainty as part of the researcher's position and approach, as well as insisting that research also includes an ethical obligation to 'not be too certain'. In the paper we expand upon this by suggesting five possible components of a different kind of intervention into fieldwork in what we label high intensity zones.
