  • the shift from monologue to dialogue in a couple Therapy Session dialogical investigation of change from the therapists point of view
    Family Process, 2012
    Co-Authors: Mary E Olson, Peter Rober, Aarno Laitila, Jaakko Seikkula
    Abstract:

    : As part of a larger research project on couple Therapy for depression, this qualitative case study examines the nature of dialogue. Drawing on Bakhtinian concepts, the investigation shows how the conversation shifts from a monologue to dialogue. Among the findings are: first, the process of listening is integral to the transforming experience. That is, the careful listening of the therapist can evoke new voices, just as the experience of one of the partners' "listening in" to the conversation between the other partner and the therapist can create movement and new trajectories. The latter is a qualitative difference between dialogic Therapy with a couple and that with an individual. Second, the therapist not only acts as creative listener, but as the dialogue unfolds, actively contributes to meaning-making. Third, the study upholds having a team of researchers as a polyphonic forum and the usefulness of Bakhtinian concepts in clinical research on dialogue in multi-actor Sessions.

  • talking about violence a microanalysis of narrative processes in a family Therapy Session
    Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 2006
    Co-Authors: Peter Rober, Dominiek Van Eesbeek, Robert Elliott
    Abstract:

    In this article, we look at the development in family Therapy of narratives about domestic violence. We report on microanalyses of a family Therapy Session, using narrative research methods, including some conversation analytic tools. The main questions posed in this investigation were: How does storytelling of a highly charged and delicate topic like domestic violence develop in the Session?; how do the different actors in the Therapy room contribute to telling such stories?; how do actors try to put forward domestic violence as a conversational topic? and how do different actors react to these attempts? Our research illustrates how the recounting of stories of violence seems to go hand in hand with modes of interaction that discourage the telling of these stories. In the back-and-forth process between voices of hesitation and voices of reassurance, the participants weigh the level of safety in the Session. In as far as the voices of hesitation can be reassured of the safety, it becomes gradually possible to talk about delicate, problematic experiences, such as violence in the family.

  • constructive hypothesizing dialogic understanding and the therapist s inner conversation some ideas about knowing and not knowing in the family Therapy Session
    Journal of Marital and Family Therapy, 2002
    Co-Authors: Peter Rober
    Abstract:

    The primary tasks of the therapist can be described as listening to what the client says and making space for what the client has not yet said. According to Anderson and Goolishian, the therapist should take a not-knowing stance in this dialogic process. The question remains, however, what not-knowing exactly means. In this article, I will explore this question and I will propose the concept of constructive hypothesizing. Constructive hypothesizing is described as a process in which there is a movement back and forth between knowing and not knowing. Of central importance are creative and dialogic understanding, rather than knowledge. Recommendations are made to ensure the constructive and collaborative use of hypotheses in the therapeutic dialogue.

  • how supervisees on a foundation course in cbt perceive a supervision Session and what they bring forward to the next Therapy Session
    Behavioural and Cognitive Psychotherapy, 2017
    Co-Authors: Anna Tornquist, Sarah Rakovshik, Jan Carlsson, Joakim Norberg
    Abstract:

    Background: There is limited research into the effect of supervision in cognitive behavioural Therapy (CBT) from the supervisees’ perspective. Aims: The aim of the study was to acquire knowledge from the supervisees’ perspective as to what in particular in the supervision process contributes to the Therapy process. Method: Fourteen supervisees on a foundation course participated in the study. A qualitative approach was used with thematic analysis of the participants’ written diaries after supervision and Therapy Sessions. Results: Analyses of supervisees’ experiences suggested that a variety of therapeutic interventions were easier to implement if one had the supervisor's support and felt free to decide if and when the suggested interventions could best be implemented. Evaluation in the form of positive feedback from the supervisor indicating that the supervisee was ‘doing the right thing’ was perceived to be important. A unifying theme when supervisees felt they were not getting anything out of the supervision was that the supervisees did not have a supervision question. Conclusions: The results of this research suggest that the supervisor's support during training is perceived to be important for the supervisee. Receiving positive feedback from one's supervisor in an evaluation is perceived to have a great impact on whether the therapist implements the suggested therapeutic interventions discussed in the previous supervision.

  • trauma sensitive yoga as an adjunct mental health treatment in group Therapy for survivors of domestic violence a feasibility study
    Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 2014
    Co-Authors: Cari Jo Clark, Angela Lewisdmello, Deena Anders, Amy Parsons, Viann N Nguyenfeng, Lisa Henn, David Emerson
    Abstract:

    Abstract This study is a feasibility test of whether incorporating trauma-sensitive yoga into group Therapy for female victims of partner violence improves symptoms of anxiety, depression, and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) beyond that achieved with group Therapy alone. Seventeen (9 control, 8 intervention) adult female clients seeking group psychoTherapy were enrolled. A 12-week trauma-sensitive yoga protocol was administered once weekly for 30–40 min at the end of each group Therapy Session. The control group received typical group psychoTherapy. Feasibility was assessed through recruitment and retention rates as well as participants' self-reported perceptions of the safety and utility of the study. The study enrolled 85% (17/20) of those screened eligible. Loss to follow-up was 30% (5/17). No one reported emotional or physical harm. All of the respondents reported that the study was personally meaningful and that the results would be useful to others.
