To Whom Can We Turn?” Evaluating the Adequacy of Police and Coroner Investigations into Questionable Deaths
Canada has witnessed thousands of Indigenous testimonies about the suspicious deaths and disappearances of their loved ones and the deficient or non-existent investigations thereafter. Despite growing attention to Indigenous deaths in inquiries and government apologies, there remains little information at ground level for families on how to challenge investigative practices and few cases that have done so successfully. Our research began when we …
Feminist Therapy Practice: Visioning the Future
The authors describe a small group process of visioning what the practice of therapy would be like if feminist principles were valued and instituted. This visioning process was held at the annual conference of the Feminist Therapy Institute in Boston, MA, on November 3, 2002. Differences in the practice of psychology are imagined in a world where oppression and misuse of power are addressed or eradicated; those changes are imagined on local as we…
Constructing ‘the eating disordered patient’1: A discourse analysis of accounts of treatment experiences
In this study 39 participants who had all been hospitalized, either in Britain or Australia, at least once for anorexia nervosa and/or bulimia, were interviewed about their experiences of treatment for an eating disorder. Each interview lasted approximately 1 hour and was semi‐structured in nature covering: (i) the beginning of participants' problems and their initial diagnosis; (ii) their history of previous interventions; (iii) their current in…
Who, What, When, Where, How, and Mostly Why: A Therapist's Grief over the Suicide of a Client
The death of a client by suicide was very emotionally destabilizing to this therapist. She worked hard to distance herself personally from the pain at first and at the same time she found herself overfocused on the “psychological autopsy.” She had difficulty accepting new clients and wanted to withdraw from a meaningful appointment to a state advisory committee. Only when she was able to identify with the client's pain and realize how that pain t…
Ethnic/Racial Attitudes and Self-Identification of Black Jamaican and White New England Children
A total of 411 children from urban and rural areas of Jamaica and from rural New England were examined by both White and Black interviewers for their skin color and body size preferences and for self-identification, using a modified dolls test. Overall, children from all three communities showed White favoritism and average body size favoritism. Within communities, there were age and gender differences. Kindergartners from rural Jamaica did not s…
What Are We Worth? Fee Decisions of Psychologists in Private Practice
This study consisted of eight interviews done with psychologists in private practice, four female and four male, of European American origin. Their responses to questions about decision making regarding fees provide fertile ground for future research. Psychologists' thoughts about fee-setting and adjustment appear to be complex and widely variable. Although the findings are limited due to sample size and homogeneity, the results suggest that: psy…
My Heart Is Broken by a Five-Year-Old Who “Abandons” Me
This article tells the story of a five-year-old Native American Lakota girl teaching me that I needed to prioritize her agenda in therapy, rather than my own. It was important that I taught her what I could about respecting her own heritage. But what she needed most of all was safety, consistency, nurture and hope as she survived the transition from her birth family to a foster family and to an unknown future. Because the situation called for a b…
