Working divides between indigenous and non-indigenous
It is impossible to teach well or conduct good research without some personal sense of involvement. Without attending to these apparently extraneous emotional aspects our work is impoverished. At the same time it is the needs of indigenous peoples as subjects in research and teaching which are paramount. The author touches on the relevance of cross-cultural hybridisation to such interchanges: creative and risky processes with attendant emotions o…
The 'Voices' Project
We report three cycles of an 'action research' project aimed at increasing the capacities of young people at risk in a rural Australian town. Drawing on an 'experience-based' approach to risk assessment and the concept of collective efficacy, we aimed to provide a group of 10 young people with a safe and uncensored space within which to voice their own concerns about the risks and problems confronting them. Their stories were then made public thr…
Infants in Groups
This paper reports on a two-stage, case-based analysis of infant sociability in infant-only trios to illustrate how findings made using this approach extend our theoretical understanding of early intersubjectivity. Studying infant groups allows us to address three kinds of emerging theoretical argument: (1) that babies are born with a ‘general relational capacity’ which complements or even founds the more specific ‘dyadic program’ that generates …

To criticise the critic
We contrast two senses of “critique” in psychology. In one, all empirical psychology is critical insofar as it opens the methodology of its findings up to public challenge. Today's “critical psychology” can be seen as extending this methodological reflexiveness to include reflexiveness about the discipline's political and value commitments. In this sense, however, a critical psychology would set out from the diversity of individualised experience…

Primary Processes
This paper emphasizes the importance of primary processes in considering developmental theory. It examines hallucinatory wish fulfillment, mirroring, holding and the Oedipal resolution as part of continually re-enacted cycles from birth to death. Primary process undermines any notion that we can ever attain an `end-point' in human development, a notion implicit in developmental accounts. By extension, it undermines utopian visions of political pr…
Women's first experiences of childbirth
This study analyses expectations, experiences and the aftermath of childbirth from interviews conducted with 60 mothers nine months after their first child was born. Half had given birth in a 'family birthing centre' (FBC) and half had used the conventional delivery suite (CDS). Findings showed that the two groups of women had different antenatal orientations to the birth, different experiences of the labour, different experiences of motherhood a…
