“Going down the Rabbit Hole”: Relational Tensions Experienced by Alienated Parents during Reconnection
Parental alienation (PA), typically identified in divorced families, is a form of nonvoluntary family distancing wherein one parent employs maladaptive communication patterns to sever the relationship between the other parent and child(ren). This study examines the reconnection phase of PA from the alienated parent perspective, elucidating tensions salient to PA as well as enacted communication management strategies. Alienated parents who experie…
Do Families Cope Communally With Breast Cancer, or is it Just Talk
Cancer experiences are sites of transition and struggle that are made meaningful through communication with others. As such, they are events in which communal coping might occur as survivors and families deal with cancer collectively. I conducted 64 interviews with family members who had coped with breast cancer. Using relational dialectics theory, I analyzed data for discursive struggle and competition via a contrapuntal analysis. Thematic and d…
Constructing family: A typology of voluntary kin
This study explored how participants discursively rendered voluntary kin relationships sensical and legitimate. Interpretive analyses of 110 interviews revealed four main types of voluntary kin: (i) substitute family, (ii) supplemental family, (iii) convenience family, and (iv) extended family. These types were rendered sensical and legitimated by drawing on the discourse of the traditional family. Except for the extended family, three of four vo…

Participants were randomly assigned to one of four experimental groups that manipulated two independent …
