Norwegian psychology report
Hei! I'm working on a psychology report written in Norwegian, and this contains the above terms, which to me seem linked. Might they stand for 'positiv' and 'negativ'?
The context is as follows, where the patient had witnessed a traumatic event:
"Nk er ikke god nok, burde (ha) gjort mer .. Pk er jeg gjorde så godt jeg kunne .."
Can anyone shed any light? Takk!

Don’t know how well it fits the context. You may be right about ‘positiv kritikk'/'negativ kritikk’. PC and NC could be the abbreviation for that too though.

Note from asker:
| Hi Michelle, many thanks for coming back so quickly. Does the term you've suggested apply to a psychology report, though? On reflection, I wonder if it might stand for 'positiv kritikk'/'negativ kritikk'? I'd be interested to know your thoughts.. |
