How Does Self-Identity Change in Eating Disorder Recovery
Eating disorder recovery is a widely studied topic in the field of psychology, and our knowledge base is still evolving today. In part, this is because there are many ways these issues can manifest in a person’s life, and therefore, many ways recovery can unfold. The concept of recovery is rooted in the medical model of illness and healing, which focuses on observable and measurable changes such as weight and behavioral change. Although important…

Community and Housing First
Plymouth Housing is a Housing First organisation in Seattle, WA (USA) that provides far more than housing for its residents-staff are equally concerned with building community and creating a sense of belonging. The objective of this study was to interview residents about their experiences of community and collect their suggestions for improving community, building efforts within this organisation. This exploratory qualitative study was conducted …
The wounded therapist
Present Through It All”
This article provides an overview of a qualitative study that focused on psychotherapists’ experiences of working with people struggling with psychosis. I interviewed four therapists in private practice about their experiences working with this population and describe many aspects of their work including how they understood the nature of psychosis, how they envision process of psychotherapy, and challenges they have faced. I used interpretive phe…
Fostering Dialogue in Psychology
Methodological discourse has the potential to divide or unite research psychologists depending on our approach and understanding of each other’s work. We note the various ways in which genuine dialogue between qualitative and quantitative researchers has been hampered by dogmatic adherence to certain theoretical and epistemological stances. We point to a corresponding phenomenon in the theoretical orientations of clinical psychologists in which c…
There Needs to be a Place in Society for Madness”
The psychiatric survivor movement is an international coalition of grassroots organizations that work for human rights in the mental health system. Previous research has examined how the survivor movement has critiqued and envisioned alternatives to traditional mental health services. The current study focused on a unique group of individuals who identify as both psychiatric survivors and work as therapists in the mental health system. I intervie…
Negotiating discourses
The psychiatric survivor movement is a political movement dedicated to fighting for human rights in the mental health system. People who identify as psychiatric survivors have experienced human rights abuses in the mental health system. A small number of psychiatric survivors have chosen to reenter the system as mental health professionals, and the current project focuses on the experiences of people with this dual-identity. The primary goal is t…
A Poetic Epiphany
Alternative forms of representation, such as poetry, are becoming more widely used by qualitative researchers in disciplines such as anthropology, sociology, and psychology. Aesthetic forms of representation highlight the co-constructed nature of the research project, and in this article we will discuss how they can facilitate creative explorations of lived experience in qualitative research. We begin with an example of a poetic representation of…
Dialogical Constructivism
In this article, the authors explore the connections between a relational— existential approach to psychotherapy, called experiential constructivism, and the work of Martin Buber. They begin by describing the basic principles and philosophical underpinnings of experiential constructivism and the writings of Martin Buber, specifically his writings on the I—Thou relationship. Next, they describe the process of psychotherapy in accord with these pri…
Beyond the counter-narrative
The discourse of the medical model of mental illness tends to dominate people’s conceptions of the origins and treatments of psychopathology. This reductionistic discourse defines people’s experiences of psychological distress and recovery in terms of illnesses, chemical imbalances, and broken brains. However, the master narrative does not represent every individual’s lived experience, and alternative narratives of mental health and recovery exis…
Recovery and the Good Life
The recovery literature in clinical psychology often focuses on abstract outcome measures of mental health and wellness that in turn serve to shape the process and goals of psychotherapy. However, there is often an experiential disconnect between these conceptualizations of recovery and the lived experience of psychological suffering and healing. In the current article, the authors present alternative views of what recovery or, more accurately, w…
Representing Madness
Close to 600 first-person narratives of madness have been published in English alone, offering invaluable insight into emotional distress from a rarely studied perspective. The goals of this study were (a) to analyze how writers of such narratives present their subjective experience of emotional distress in terms of narrative structure and voice and (b) to examine how the author's purpose in writing the narrative affects its form. Previous studie…
