This book is an extended English version of a document that was published in 2000, presenting the results of a work group that had been created by the Nordic Council of Ministers and the Nordic Trade Union Council in 1999. Nordic social changes are discussed in an international perspective with focus on new research, theories and methods. The issue of men and gender equality has often been treated more as a question of morals than of practices and not in a comprehensive manner in terms of what is probably men's most important arena - working life. The book makes the point that in order for men to be able to change their situations more comprehensive understanding is demanded - among men themselves, not just by women.

RAGNVALD KALLEBERG

Ragnvald Kalleberg is a Professor of Sociology in the Department of Sociology and Human Geography at the University of Oslo, Norway. He has published in sociology of science (history of science, academics as public intellectuals, research ethics, research policy), sociology of organizations (knowledge organizations, work environment improvements, workplace democracy), and general social theory (theories of modernity, philosophy of science, discourse ethics, Habermas). As a sociologist he insists that ethics has both to do with the morals of individuals and institutions, and their interplay. In the analysis of the ethos of science, he has mainly focused on science as an open society and the norm of universalism, but also analyzed the rationality of the individual and institutional norm of scientific humility. He has recently chaired the Norwegian National Committee for Research Ethics in the Social and Cultural Sciences for two periods. In this work he has tried to translate sociological insights into intersubjectively binding guidelines and institutional arrangements in order to prevent scientific misconduct and stimulate sound scientific practices.

SIGMUND W. KARTERUD

Sigmund Karterud, MD, PhD, is a Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Oslo and Medical Director of the Department for Personality Psychiatry, Ullevål University Hospital. He is a Training Group Analyst at the Institute of Group Analysis, Oslo, Founding President of the Norwegian Group Psychotherapy Association, Head of the Norwegian Network of Psychotherapeutic Day Hospitals, Head of the Norwegian Forum for Self Psychology, and a Board Member of the International Council for Self Psychology.
His doctoral thesis, Group Processes in Therapeutic Communities (1989), was an empirical test of the group dynamic theories of W.R. Bion, with special reference to fight/flight phenomena in groups and individual valences for fight/flight behaviour. He has published around 100 articles and 7 books on the topics of the therapeutic community, small and large group dynamics, group analysis and group psychotherapy, self psychology, personality disorders, and literature.
Professor Karterud is currently doing research on long-term combined group and individual psychotherapy for patients with personality disorders, testing, among others, the efficacy of strategies for transforming hate and narcissistic rage, working within a theoretical paradigm of attachment theory and self psychology. The paradigm also includes an evolutionary perspective on primary emotions among mammals, the neurobiology of consciousness and emotions, and the mentalization of affective experiences among humans through attachment and selfobject relations.
The depth psychology of the vicious circle of humiliation, narcissistic rage, craving for revenge and thus inflicting new humiliations, is well described by self psychology theory (Heinz Kohut). However, the unconscious group dynamics of this vicious circle is less clearly articulated. In order to overcome the limitations in the dyadic perspective of psychoanalytic self psychology, Karterud has developed Kohut’s theoretical draft of a group-self. This concept seems to be a precondition for a deeper understanding of collective needs, aspirations and traumatizations, as well as primitive large group phenomena. Collective phenomena might be better explained if one takes into consideration the complex interactions between the individual self, the family self, the small workgroup self, the organizational self, the national self, the regional self, and a future sense of a global self. Networking with the Human Dignity and Humiliation Studies might be one way of developing a sense of a global self which, through several generations, might become internalized as part of the self at lower levels.

Please see here his last publication, Indigenous and Cultural Psychology: Understanding People in Context (Springer Science+Business Media, 2006, please see Reviews) and a short description of indigenous psychology:
Indigenous psychology is defined as the scientific study of human behavior or mind that is native, that is not transported from other regions, and that is designed for its people. It advocates examining knowledge, skills and beliefs people have about themselves and studying them in their natural contexts. Theories, concepts and methods are developed to correspond with psychological phenomena. It advocates explicitly incorporating the content and context of research. The goal is to create a more rigorous, systematic and universal science that can be theoretically and empirically verified.
Ten characteristics of indigenous psychology can be identified. First, it emphasizes examining psychological phenomena in cultural context. Second, it is necessary for all cultural, native and ethnic groups. Third, it advocates use of multiple methods. Fourth, it advocates the integration of “insiders,” “outsiders” and multiple perspectives to obtain comprehensive and integrated understanding. Fifth, it acknowledges that people have a complex and sophisticated understanding of themselves and it is necessary to translate their practical and episodic understanding into analytical and knowledge. Sixth, although descriptive analysis is the starting point of research, its final goal is to discover psychological universals that can be theoretically and empirically verified. Eighth, it is a part of the cultural sciences tradition in which human agency, meaning and context are incorporated into the research design. Ninth, it advocates a linkage of humanities (which focus on human experience and creativity) with social sciences (which focus empirical analysis and verification). Tenth, two starting points of research in indigenous psychology can be identified: indigenization from without and indigenization from within.

DONALD C. KLEIN † June 8, 2007, but spiritually always with us!

June 2007: Our beloved Don Klein has passed away.
Please see here our condolences, or, more precisely, our love letters to Don.
We are shattered and, for the moment, speechless.
Dear Becca and Alan! We are holding your hands in this difficult moment of losing your father and grandfather.
Don was and will always be, one of the central pillars of our work and our group. He is on the Board of our Directors and will always be there.
He spoke to us about Awe and Wonderment. About our human ability to live in awe and wonderment, not just when we see a beautiful sun set or the majesty of the ocean, but always. That we can live in a state of awe and wonderment. And we do that, says Don, by leaving behind the psychology of projection. The psychology of projection is like a scrim, a transparent stage curtain, where you believe that what you see is reality only as long as the light shines on it in a certain way. However, it is not reality. It is a projection. And in order to live in awe and wonderment, we have to look through this scrim and let go of all the details that appear on it, in which we are so caught up in. When we do that, we can see the beautiful sun set, the majestic ocean, always, in everything.
We are all inconsolable!
We are with you, dear Don, wherever you may be now!
And we promise to always remember that we can live in Awe and Wonderment, always!
Evelin, on behalf on our entire HumanDHS network!
Sunday, June 10, 2007

Donald C. Klein, Ph.D., was also a Member of the HumanDHS Board of Directors, the HumanDHS Global Core Team, the HumanDHS Global Coordinating Team, and the HumanDHS Education Team.
Don is a Psychologist and Behavioral Scientist. After earning a Clinical Psychology Ph.D. in 1952 at the University of California, Berkeley, he was CEO of an experimental community mental health center, directed a multi-disciplinary graduate center at Boston University, served as NTL Program Director for Community Affairs, and helped to develop and became coordinator of the Applied Behavioral Science graduate program at The Johns Hopkins University. Subsequently, he was Professor Emeritus of the Graduate College of The Union Institute & University, which offers an innovative non-residential doctoral program for working adults.
Don Klein has been one of the first to explicitly examine and write on the humiliation phenomena. His first publication on humiliation goes back to 1991 (Journal of Primary Prevention on the Humiliation Dynamic, Vol 12, No. 2, Winter, 1991; Vol 12, No. 3, Spring 1992). He has written numerous books and has conducted extensive research on how families and organizations use humiliation as a tool of control and socialization. In addition to the Humiliation Dynamic, as an Applied Behavioral Scientist, he has studied and written about community change dynamics, differences and diversity, power, and large group methods for change in organizations and communities. In his training and consulting work he has used sociodrama and other performatory approaches. He is especially interested in methods that can be used to create meaningful, integrative non-humiliating connections (i.e., "social glue") between diverse groups in community settings. In recent years Don Klein has become deeply engaged with what he calls Appreciative Psychology, which has to do with the inherent level of appreciative being that connects each one of us with universal life energy.

HROAR KLEMPE

Hroar Klempe is the Dean of the Department of Psychology at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. He is a former Professor in Musicology and Associate Professor in Social Psychology at the Department of Psychology.
His fields of interest within psychology are communication, media, music, education, and epistemology. His current research projects address music and mass media, as well as education and resistance to learning. Furthermore, Hroar is interested in the theme of civil obedience. He has worked on national and international campaigns on conscious objection to military services. His publications entail, among others, Musicalisation of Metaphor and Metaphoricalness in Music (in Danish Yearbook of Philosophy, Volume 31, 1996, Museum Tusculanum Press, København).
Professor Klempe’s special interest is to work on the role of music in the early history of experimental psychology. He believes that psychology today may benefit from re-discovering the early marriage between music and psychology. Today's psychology is based on linguistic models; musical models could enrich it and broaden its scope (see also Fred Lerdahl's work, now at Columbia University, New York).
