The authors show that the study of social professional subjectivity of the individual indicates that one of the most important effects is that the person as an object of social action in one form or another becomes the subject of these actions because of their own professional activity. In the article it is shown that social determination of individual-mental development of professional subjectivity of the personality and its activity are inherent. The transformation of the person from the object to the subject is carried out only based on activities in which certain social functions of the specialist are realized. The given facts confirm the principle of interconnection of consciousness and activity developed in the national philosophy, the unity of which is formed in certain social conditions. Implementation of this principle to the study of professional subjectivity of the individual means that the main components and personal qualities should be studied in close connection with its activities.

“…Nissen continued to work in the psychology department, where he later attained the position of associate professor. Over the years, he conducted a substantial amount of empirical work on drug rehabilitation and youth projects in Copenhagen, and he has established himself as a prolific writer in theoretical fields such as critical psychology and cultural-historical activity theory (Nissen, 2012).…”

The epistemic project of psychology is currently under intense and broad debate. As a contribution to this debate—and as a deliberate attempt to steer the debate towards a more situated and material understanding of epistemology—this article presents a 2-month anthropological field study of how knowledge was produced among a group of psychologists in a psychology department at a Danish university. First, the article presents a detailed account of how this particular group of (cultural-historical) psychologists constructed knowledge in their daily practices. Second, the article discusses these specific knowledge practices in relation to a selection of contemporary pragmatic ideas about research, knowledge, and theorising. Finally, the article discusses how the study of this particular case of knowledge production may contribute to the broad current debates about psychology’s contemporary epistemic project and its role in society.

“…Our methodology is a version of participatory action or practice research, where we, in ongoing dialogues with practitioners, attempt to develop both practices and theories in order to understand and handle problems in the field. This way of analysing and articulating social work is an exchange, transformation and translation of empirical and theoretical references, which are meant to serve as models, or prototypes for future practice (to this, Nissen, 2009, 2012). Accordingly, the main aim of this paper is to contribute to discussions in social work, psychotherapy, and counselling, through analysis of data from practice, using theories of space and subjectivity.…”

“…This implies another aspect that is equally important – the space of public display. Public spaces, as designed and performed ‘arenas of political deliberation and participation’ (Harvey, 2000, 2006), have evolved in multiple forms since the Athenian agora , not least with, on the one hand, the rise of civil society and its variable distributions of private domains, markets, and commons, and, on the other hand, emerging technologies for representing community (Anderson, 1991; Goffman, 1961, 1986a, 1986c, 1990; Illouz, 2003; see also Nissen, 2012, ch. 3).…”

The article articulates experiments with spatial constructions in two Danish social work agencies, basing on (a) a sketchy genealogical reconstruction of conceptualisations and uses of space in social work and counselling, (b) a search for theoretical resources to articulate new spaces, and (c) data from a long-standing collaboration with the social workers working with youth and drugs. Beside a critical analysis of how disciplinary and pastoral spaces make it difficult to engage in helpful conversations with young drug users, we show how spaces of attunement, spaces of production, and public spaces are forms of spatialisations which might be taken as prototypical in attempts to develop social work and counselling.
