What’s Weird About Norway

A touchy-feely guy’s view of a touchless, feel-less nation

Norwegians are weird. I say this out of affection. I’m half Norwegian. I’ve lived in Norway for years at a time, and I’ve visited many, many times before. My most recent visit was brief. It was June.

Closed reception centers for asylum seekers to be sent out of the country, can lead to more violence and antisocial behavior, think psychiatrist Basilier Aina Vaage

Vaage, who is chief of child and adolescent psychiatry at Stavanger University Hospital, believes there is a very big challenge in itself to come to Norway, to be afraid, to have a story in your luggage, be heard, believed and dare to trust people . To introduce closed reception will make the situation even worse for asylum seekers who have been refused, she says.

Asylum seekers are checked for tuberculosis, but not for mental disorders

UDI-Frode Forfang admits that newly arrived asylum seekers are not examined to detect possible trauma or mental illness.

Solberg alerts the increased use of closed reception

Bus tragedy in Årdal makes it necessary to look into the treatment of asylum seekers , says Prime Minister Erna Solberg ( H ).
