steps <strong>of</strong> the study. Actually, in my understanding, this type <strong>of</strong> redundancy is part <strong>of</strong> the PhD<br />

dissertation ‘code’ (in the Aalborg tradition), which is very different from a properly edited<br />

scholarly book. But, <strong>of</strong> course, I may be wrong, and I know that the dissertation style is very<br />

different in other programs.<br />

27. Reference to cancer in the general theory <strong>of</strong> how BMGIM is therapeutic (p. 222 –<br />

227):<br />

In the grounded theories proposed in section 7.4 there is only little reference to the specific<br />

aspects related to the participants being persons living with cancer. An important theoretical<br />

proposal is that “Cancer specific or related imagery is easily and safely addressed in BMGIM,<br />

however the participants’ imagery is not dominated by issues related to cancer, rather to<br />

existential issues related to being a person in transition.” (p. 227) This rather paradoxical<br />

finding may be due to the fact that the participants were cancer survivors, they were not in a<br />

specific cancer treatment phase with concrete physiological, surgical or medical cancer issues<br />

dominating their everyday life. BMGIM in the treatment phase may very well be dominated<br />

by cancer specific or related imagery. This question will be addressed in a new study at<br />

Aalborg University Hospital (2005-2007).
