Coverage and treatment of qualitative inquiry in general research methods textbooks
Critiquing the Critique
Critiques of antidepressants in public spaces such as print media, blogs, social media, websites, and radio and television programs are now commonplace. Such critiques typically center on issues such as the side effects and risks of antidepressants, overblown claims of effectiveness, the fallacy of the chemical imbalance hypothesis, overprescribing, and the availability of equally or more effective nonmedication interventions for depression. In t…

Negotiating What Constitutes Depression
Background Direct-to-consumer (DTC) advertisements for medication communicate a distinct image of illness and have the potential to shape how we understand what constitutes illness.Analysis The purpose of this study was to explore discursive patterns in how women interact with the messages related to depression in DTC television advertisements for antidepressants. We conducted six focus groups of 1 to 2 hours, with 4 to 6 female participants per …
Decoupling antidepressants and depression in accounts of being prescribed antidepressants off-label
Constructions of motherhood and fatherhood in newspaper articles on maternal and paternal postpartum depression
Postpartum depression (PPD) is typically constructed as a medical condition that is defined by prevalence rates, time of onset, duration, symptoms, causes and treatments. Presentations of PPD in popular texts have also revealed that it is a site for constructions of mothering/motherhood. While PPD has traditionally been assumed to be the domain of women, researchers have recently focused attention on PPD and men. Using articles on maternal and pa…
The aesthetic rationality of the popular expressive arts
The use of popular expressive arts as antidotes to the pathologies of the parallel processes of lifeworld colonization and cultural impoverishment has been under-theorized. This article enters the void with a project in which breast cancer survivors used collages and installations of everyday objects to solicit their authentic expression of the psycho-social impacts of lymphedema. The article enlists Jurgen Habermas' communicative action theory t…
Talking Controversy
Depression is a condition that is routinely diagnosed; however, controversies about the diagnosis remain. Some argue that depression goes undiagnosed, while others argue that the diagnosis is applied too readily and broadly. The focus of this article is how those with a diagnosis of depression respond to such controversy. We interviewed 11 long-term users of antidepressants, queried them about their diagnosis and medication history, and presented…
Discourses of Influence and Autonomy in Physicians' Accounts of Treatment Decision Making for Depression
Models of patient-physician decision making are typically framed on a continuum of discourses and practices ranging from patient autonomy to physician paternalism, with the middle ground being occupied by terms such as shared decision making. Critiques of these models center on the gulf between these idealized models and actual practice and on how context influences decision-making practices. In this article I focus on how 11 Canadian family phys…
Women's Accounts of Their Decision to Quit Taking Antidepressants
Over the past 15 years, the rates at which antidepressants are prescribed have increased dramatically. Adherence, however, is often low and considered to be problematic. Using a discursive approach to analyzing interviews with six Canadian women who chose unilaterally to discontinue their use of antidepressants, we focus on three rhetorical strategies used to justify their actions: (a) referencing the actual or potential effects of antidepressant…
Women and Depression
Evidence of the burden of depression for women worldwide and of the link between depression and the economic and social conditions of women’s lives provides a firm grounding for feminist-informed understandings of depression. We focus on the conjunction of women and depression as a site for assessing the influence of feminism in Canadian psychology. On the basis of our analysis of two ‘fact sheets’ - one on depression and one on postpartum depres…
Studying the Use of Figurative Language in Psychotherapy
Much of the theoretical and conceptual writing on the use of figurative language in psychotherapy has stressed the important role that this language plays in facilitating change. A review of the empirical literature indicates that, although frequent calls have been made to investigate the change-producing effects of metaphor, we have yet to elucidate these effects through empirical research, to suggest that this domain of inquiry be left to theor…

Use of Figurative Language in Successful and Unsuccessful Cases of Psychotherapy
The purpose of the present study was to extend the scant empirical literature on figurative language in psychotherapy by analyzing its use over time by clients and therapists in cases differing in outcome. Instances of figurative language related to major therapy themes were selected from all available and audible sessions (N = 95) of six cases of psychotherapy—one successful and one unsuccessful case from each of three therapists—gleaned from th…

Effects of Status and Solidarity on Familiarity in Written Communication
The present study extended the investigation of the effects of status and solidarity on familiarity in spoken language to an analysis of written communication. Each of 48 upper-year undergraduate psychology students was required to write four letters — one to a university professor (higher status), one to a first-year university student (lower status), one to a friend (high solidarity), and one to an equal-status stranger (low solidarity) — reque…
