Finding my voice: Telling stories with heuristic self-search inquiry

Routledge eBooks, Mar 24, 2021

This article is informed by the authors' research into how people diagnosed with 'schizophrenia' experience their personal therapy. It focuses upon the usefulness of phenomenological research methods for investigating personal experience whilst at the same time considering how these methods might enable the researcher to hear the experience of others. It is proposed that personal stories can be seen as being closer to literature and so something of their essence can be killed off by having to shape them through systematic approaches to research. Therefore, the aim here is to explore whether it is possible or indeed desirable to take a systematic approach to personal experience when conducting psychotherapeutic research and how this might be beneficial or detrimental to researcher and participants. Meine Stimme finden: Geschichten mit heuristischer Selbstsuchanfrage erzählen ABSTRAKT Es wurde argumentiert, dass qualitative Forschung wertvoll sein kann, um ein Forum für die Stimmen derjenigen zu bieten, die normalerweise vom akademischen Diskurs ausgeschlossen sind, und dass sie daher gut geeignet ist, die Krankheitserfahrungen von Personen zu untersuchen. Dieser Artikel basiert auf den Forschungen der Autoren darüber, wie Menschen, bei denen "Schizophrenie" diagnostiziert wurde, ihre persönliche Therapie erfahren. Es konzentriert sich auf die Nützlichkeit phänomenologischer Forschungsmethoden zur Untersuchung persönlicher Erfahrungen, während gleichzeitig überlegt wird, wie diese Methoden es dem Forscher ermöglichen könnten, die Erfahrungen anderer zu hören. Es wird vorgeschlagen, persönliche Geschichten als näher an der Literatur zu betrachten, und so kann etwas von ihrer Essenz abgetötet werden, indem sie durch systematische Forschungsansätze gestaltet werden müssen. Daher soll hier untersucht werden, ob es möglich oder tatsächlich wünschenswert ist, bei der Durchführung psychotherapeutischer Forschung einen systematischen Ansatz für die persönliche Erfahrung zu wählen, und wie dies für Forscher und Teilnehmer vorteilhaft oder schädlich sein kann

Drawing on a study exploring how mental health nurses are therapeutic, we focus on how taking experience seriously is encouraged through being phenomenological. We look at how research method and theoryand fixed beliefs or ideastend to constrict language, so that personal (sensual) meaning is lost or curtailed. Being phenomenological instead 'opens up' language and consequently meaning, in an act of truthfulness through speaking one's experience, which we see as both psychotherapeutic and a valid form of research.

However, the demand for health visiting expertise to cover both GP and health authority child surveillance services and the requests of many users for more health visitor input highlight the need for an adequately resourced health visiting service.

What gets in the way of working with clients who have been sexually abused? Heuristic inquiry

European Journal Of Psychotherapy & Counselling, Apr 2, 2020

The aim of the researchers was to conduct a study by exploring therapists' lived experience of what may get in the way of working with sexual abuse. For the purpose 8 therapists were interviewed and the collected data was analysed using Heuristic Inquiry. The heuristic inquiry was also based on one of the researchers' personal experience. The study demonstrated that most common hindrances to working with sexually abused clients are therapists' lack of awareness, unresolved personal conflicts or unprocessed traumatic experiences, issues around sex and sexuality, gender stereotypes, lack of experience and inadequate training and supervision. These findings are discussed in terms of their implications for therapeutic work with sexually abused clients. Further research areas are suggested. Was Ergibt die Arbeit mit Kunden, die sexuell missbraucht wurden? Heuristische Untersuchung ABSTRAKT Dieser Artikel präsentiert die Ergebnisse einer heuristischen Untersuchung von Faktoren, die die therapeutische Arbeit mit Menschen, die sexuell missbraucht wurden, behindern können. Das Ziel der Forscher war es, eine Studie durchzuführen, in der die Erfahrungen der Therapeuten untersucht wurden, was der Arbeit mit sexuellem Missbrauch im Wege stehen könnte. Zu diesem Zweck wurden 8 Therapeuten befragt und die gesammelten Daten mittels heuristischer Untersuchung analysiert. Die heuristische Untersuchung basierte auch auf einer persönlichen Erfahrung der Forscher. Die Studie zeigte, dass die häufigsten Hindernisse für die Arbeit mit sexuell missbrauchten Klienten mangelndes Bewusstsein der Therapeuten, ungelöste persönliche Konflikte oder unverarbeitete traumatische Erfahrungen, Probleme in Bezug auf Sex und Sexualität, Geschlechterstereotype, mangelnde Erfahrung sowie unzureichende Ausbildung und Überwachung sind. Diese Ergebnisse werden im Hinblick auf ihre Auswirkungen auf die therapeutische Arbeit mit sexuell missbrauchten Klienten diskutiert. Weitere Forschungsbereiche werden vorgeschlagen.
