Australian family property law reform
This article considers whether the Family Law Amendment Act 2024 is likely to achieve the Australian government’s stated reform goals. These goals include: codifying the common law so as to make property law clearer and thus more accessible for unrepresented litigants and those bargaining outside of the court; ensuring family violence is factored into all aspects of family law financial disputes; and placing more emphasis on children’s post-separ…
I wonder if you will be sad
We demonstrate the value of a rapprochement between psychoanalytic work aimed at supporting marginalized mothers and discursive accounts of low-income mothers, providing a psychosocial analysis of data from an interview study with six low-income South African mothers. Employing discourse analysis, we show how instrumental mothering is a dominant and precarious construction in these mothers’ talk. We use the concept of mentalization to track the a…
Sistering and sexual socialisation
Considerable research has been devoted to understanding and promoting parent-child sexual socialisation. Less attention has been paid to experiences of sibling interactions concerning sex. Drawing on discursive psychology, this study explores how women report interacting about sex and reproduction in their sisterly relationships. Ten in-depth interviews were conducted, using Free Association Narrative Interview technique, with five Black isiXhosa…
Feminine sexual desire and shame in the classroom
Within the growing body of literature on sexuality education in South Africa, researchers have highlighted how teachers may face, or themselves be, barriers to the implementation of rights-based comprehensive sexuality education. Important issues with regard to educators are: firstly, the social and discursive space within which educators are located; and secondly, the complex emotional and psychic investments that educators take up within partic…
Psychosocial studies and the practice of psychology
In this paper I explore the relationship between psychosocial studies and the practice of psychology, with a view to considering how each might enhance the other. The first part of this paper reviews existing work within psychosocial studies on applied practice internationally. Thereafter, the ways in which psychosocial studies has been taken up in the South African context is briefly described, before turning to a contextual overview of the stat…
Comparing clinical and counselling psychologists’ practitioner demographics, key activities, theoretical orientations, values, and career satisfaction
This article conducts a secondary analysis of combined survey data collected from clinical and counselling psychologists in South Africa with a view to contributing to the debate about their respective Scope of Practice. A comparison of clinical and counselling psychologists’ activities, where and how they are doing these activities and with what emphasis, as well as the similarities and differences between these categories with respect to demogr…
Slipping and holding minds
This paper demonstrates the value of using multiple lenses to read the text, seeking to understand what is going on from within each lens (discursive/social, interpersonal, intrapsychic), while also seeking to disrupt this understanding as we take up the position of a different lens. This approach enables us to hold onto the complexity and locatedness of maternal subjectivity for mothers of children with disabilities
Key concepts for quality as foundational in qualitative research
With increasing calls for evidence-based practice within the discipline of psychology in South Africa alongside the now established value of qualitative methodologies, qualitative research that is both relevant and methodologically sound is of vital importance. Internationally, the recognition of the need for criteria with which to evaluate qualitative research has generated a number of useful and important guidelines. Integrating these already e…
They’re gonna come and corrupt our children
Bhuti’
The article explores the connections between context, masculinity and the fraternal relationship to understand brotherhood in Xhosa culture. The participant was a Xhosa man (32 years old, with tertiary level education). Data were collected using a semi-structured interview. The data suggest that the fraternal bond is constructed as a complex interplay of sometimes contradictory stances including those that reinforce authoritarian and hierarchical…
Research Entanglements, Race, and Recognizability
Psychoanalysis has become increasingly concerned with issues of race and class and the ways in which they play themselves out in the therapy room. Alongside other psychosocial scholars concerned with the interleaving of the self and other, the psychological and the social, I argue that psychoanalysis is a valuable resource, particularly, as demonstrated in this article, for thinking through how we might theorize and "read" race and class in inter…
And where were your brothers in all this
This article offers a psychosocial analysis of interview material from a larger study on 'brothering', making an empirically grounded contribution to what are frequently abstract debates on the use of psychoanalysis to 'read' narratives. Recent psychosocial approaches which employ psychoanalysis alongside discursive psychology are reviewed, including a Lacanian approach which has been described as a less certain and potentially less individualizi…
