Power and dialogue
Collaborative‐dialogic approaches to family therapy advise therapists to take a position of client‐as‐expert and promote an equality of multiple perspectives. This has led to debates about how to conceptualize power in dialogical therapies with scholars theorizing and researching power as social and negotiated through interaction. We aimed to understand power in dialogical therapy through reviewing discursive research on therapeutic conversations…
Creating and Sustaining Safe and Inclusive Spaces for LGBTQ Youth
Educators can play a critical role in buffering LGBTQ youth from potential victimization. As such, the present study explored the following questions: 1) What are the roles of educators (i.e., teachers, school administrators) with respect to promoting and creating safe and inclusive spaces for LGBTQ youth; 2) what unique contributions can educators make in nurturing those spaces; and, 3) what barriers do educators face in creating safe and inclus…
Behind Successful Refugee Parental Engagement
This two-year study examined the barriers and challenges encountered by refugee parents as they negotiate their children’s successful transition into a new school system. The researchers sought to determine what can be learned from parent and educator experiences of these obstacles in order to optimize parent–teacher collaboration for refugee families. Contextualized within a LEAD (Literacy, English and Academic Development) program in an urban c…
The Discursive Performance of Change Process in Systemic and Constructionist Therapies
Despite the emphasis of systemic and constructionist approaches on discourse and interaction, to date there has been no comprehensive overview of how change process is performed within in‐session therapeutic dialogue. In this paper, we present a qualitative meta‐synthesis of 35 articles reporting systemic and constructionist therapy process data from naturally occurring therapeutic dialogue. The studies were selected following the screening again…
How is Systemic and Constructionist Therapy Change Process Narrated in Retrospective Accounts of Therapy? A Systematic Meta‐synthesis Review
Despite the considerable potential of qualitative approaches for studying the systemic and constructionist therapy process due to shared theoretical and epistemological premises, to date there is lack of a comprehensive qualitative synthesis of how change process is experienced and conceptualized by clients and therapists. To address this evidence gap, we performed a systematic meta‐synthesis review of 30 studies reporting clients’ and therapists…
The understated role of pedagogical love and human emotion in refugee education
This study sought to determine the role pedagogical love can play in the emotional experience of (Arabic-speaking) refugee families in Calgary, Canada, as they engaged with the public education system at the Grade 4–12 level. Through a cooperative inquiry approach, based on a shared agenda and interests, the researchers used cycles of action and reflection to elicit and analyse the experiences of parents, teachers, and in-school support workers. …
One-size-fits-none’
Many researchers have explored the impact or effectiveness of eating disorder (ED) and obesity (OB) prevention in schools. Few, however, have investigated integrated prevention, and despite recommendations to shift the individual focus of prevention to environmental or systemic change, even fewer researchers have considered the broader situation. In this study, we explored how weight-related issues are negotiated in Canadian schools, and what ins…
The Change in Classification of Asperger Syndrome
Recently, the American Psychiatric Association eliminated Asperger Syndrome (AS) and introduced the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) diagnostic framework. This change in nosology socially implicates people who self-identify with and derive personal meaning from their AS diagnosis. The current study explored the opinions of adults with AS regarding their identity related to the diagnostic terminology of ASD. Twelve adults with AS completed a semi-st…

Reconciling Conversational Handles With Scientific and Administrative Classifications? A Response to Jon Raskin
Appreciative of Jon Raskin’s invitation to develop alternatives to the DSM-5 diagnostic system, I share my concerns about systematization and reification that can come with any diagnostic system, through its subsequent research and administrative use. Focusing specifically on nonsevere and relational concerns (aspects of Arendt’s “human condition”), I share three alternative approaches to diagnosis. I also draw on my background as family therapis…
A Review of Lorraine Daston and Peter Galison’s Objectivity
Lorraine Daston’s and Peter Galison’s Objectivity (2007) traces historical and cultural developments as the word "objective" acquired different meanings and associated scientific practices. Similarly, Daston and Galison consider the changing relationship of the word "objective" as it relates to the subjectivity of the researcher. Objectivity will interest any reader interested in how the conceptions and practices of science change historically an…
Insider Experiences of The Qualitative Report’s Reviewing Process
We (Pamela, Tom, and Jenn) wanted to give you our insiders’ experiences of the manuscript submission and reviewing process at The Qualitative Report (TQR). Respectively, we are a researcher-author, an instructor-reviewer, and a student-reviewer who were involved in the reviewing process that resulted in the publication of Pamela’s TQR article: On Doctoral Student Development: Exploring Faculty Mentoring in the Shaping of African American Doctoral…
Social Justice Oriented Diagnostic Discussions
In the West, the concept of mental illness represents the dominant perspective on emotional distress. Despite their prominence, psychiatric diagnoses have been subject to extensive critiques, including their suitability for increasing therapists’ understanding of distress of socially marginalized clients. Family therapists are among the professionals expected to treat mental disorders. As family therapists are becoming increasingly oriented to so…
Mysteries and Qualitative Research? Review of Mats Alvesson and Dan Kärreman’s Qualitative Research and Theory Development
In an era of postmodern and social constructionist thought, qualitative researchers have experienced method as a mess. This time of conflict and tension has contributed to concerns and questions about researchers’ interpretive and reflexive contributions to the study of social reality. Into these confusing times, Mats Alvesson and Dan Kärreman, social constructionist researchers, take a novel approach to how qualitative research can inform theory…
Co-constructing “We” and “Us”
Using Gubrium and Holstein’s (2009) approach to narrative analysis, I examine how couples and I co-authored and co-edited shared meanings while talking about “we-ness.” I pay particular attention to my role as researcher and how I was active in inviting these conversations. I also attend to how participants and I developed joint meanings, negotiated individual and relational identities, and managed couples’ public image through processes of colla…
Co-Authoring “We-ness” and Stories of Intimacy
Doing Recovery Online
Although problem gambling is becoming more prevalent, research shows that many problem gamblers do not seek help. Online social support forums have become an increasingly popular option for receiving support for problem gambling. Few researchers have explored how participants within these forums interact, or what is supportive about participation in online communities. Melding netnography (ethnographic approaches online), discourse analysis, and …
Negotiating Cross-cultural Misunderstandings in Collaborative Therapeutic Conversations
Agency and dialogic tension in co-editing more preferred narratives
As narrative therapists and researchers we are interested in how conversations invite co-authoring and co-editing possibilities to develop self-narratives preferred by our partners in dialogue. ‘Problem saturated stories’ acquire their dominance and self-defining plausibility through unquestioned personal and cultural conversations. Questions and responsive dialogues, however, can invite consideration and elaboration of previously implausible plo…
Social Constructionism
Social Constructionism: Sources and Stirrings in Theory and Practice offers an introduction to the different theorists and schools of thought that have contributed to the development of contemporary social constructionist ideas, charting a course through the ideas that underpin the discipline. From the New Science of Vico in the 18th century, through to Marxist writers, ethnomethodologists and Wittgenstein, ideas as to how socio-cultural processe…
Negotiating Post-Consultation ‘Homework’ Tasks Between Counselors and Clients
Reconciling Voices in Writing an Autoethnographic Thesis
The authors consider writing and supervising an autoethnographic thesis as a process of reconciling voices while finding one's own academic and personal voice. They draw from notions of polyphony to speak about how we negotiated with different voices (the voices of experts, research participants, personal affiliations, those used in our supervisory discussions) our way forward in the supervisory relationship, as well as in the thesis itself. They…
Accomplishments in Social Constructionist Counseling
Social constructionist interventions in counseling have seldom been evaluated using theoretically compatible research methods. In this exploratory study, 11 clients participated in 1-hour lifestyle consultations conducted by narrative, solution-focused collaborative language systems counselors. The interventions (co-constructing shared understandings, inviting reflections, and introducing new discourses) were primarily evaluated using conversatio…
Reflections on Reflecting as a Dialogic Accomplishment in Counseling
In this exploratory study, the author examines reflection as a dialogic phenomenon constructed in the back-and-forth of counseling dialogue. He videotaped and microanalyzed 11 one-hour lifestyle consultations for the conversational practices used by counselors and clients in collaboratively reflecting on developments in their dialogues. He then invited counselors and clients back to comment on their participation in videotaped passages of their d…

Engaging Reflection
The author describes an exercise for counselor trainees that promotes counselor reflection on the counseling process. The exercise, which also supports a social constructionist view of counseling, was introduced before, or concurrent with, skill development and required students to combine conversation and discourse analysis of their interactions with "clients." Methods of analysis are presented, along with specific instructions for the exercise,…
