Processes of Sharing and Relating of Women With Multiple Sclerosis Through a Group Psychological Intervention
Ripples and waves
This article embarks on our reflective journey through the landscape of mental health care for disabled people. We discuss how ableism is manifested in mental health care settings, elaborating on embodied and intersubjective approaches. We engaged in a critical, ethnographic, collective exploration and started analysis of data using Reflexive Thematic Analysis to identify patterns in our discussion transcripts. These themes informed the transitio…

‘It made me a more resilient therapist’
The Covid-19 pandemic has necessitated sudden and radical changes in mental health care delivery where practitioners unavoidably engaged in remote working. As remote care is likely to become increasingly common, perhaps routine, in this study, we aimed to explore practitioners’ experiences of delivering online therapy during a unique moment in history. Semi-structured online interviews were conducted with five participants. Three main themes were…
Emerging from the global syndemic crucible
The covid-19 global syndemic has upended societies worldwide and concomitantly united the world in a shared experience of lockdowns, social distancing, and economic upheaval. In the face of great uncertainty, dystopian realities, and binding government edicts, people's everyday lives, sense of agency, actions, and interactions changed forcibly. Importantly, it has disrupted many practices and routines essential for (re)constituting a sense of bel…
Application of Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis methodology in psychotherapy impact research
Psychotherapy’s impact and effectiveness have been explored through the use of quantitative research methods such as standardised inventories and scales measuring mainly behavioural and overt aspects of the psychotherapeutic encounter and symptom reduction. Nonetheless, change in psychotherapy is a complex, multifaceted phenomenon, requiring open-ended investigation to reveal the beneficial factors that are part of the process. This paper will de…
From social workers to socio-therapists
The efficiency of interventions in addiction is associated with the processes of practitioners’ professional development. Identity formation is studied extensively for clinical professions but little research focuses on social workers working in addiction settings. This study examined the experience of social workers working in a community treatment network in Greece. Fifteen interviews were conducted with 11 women and 4 men, ranging between 29 a…
The Greek Referendum Vote of 2015 as a Paradoxical Communicative Practice
This article adopts a pragmatic‐communicative approach, derived from Gregory Bateson's cybernetic theory, to the Greek Referendum Vote of 2015. Applying this approach, we interpret the Referendum as a double‐bind situation. Our research question is twofold: (1) How do potential Greek voters discursively construct the Referendum? (2) How do they respond to the communicative situation posed? A total of 124 written narratives, “Letters from the Futu…
