Often the chasm between people from differing cultures, language, and views seems impossible to navigate, even with the best intentions. Whether you work in a boardroom, schoolroom, therapy room, or community organization, our book Collaborative-Dialogic Practice: Relationships and Conversations That Make a Difference Across Contexts and Cultures (Anderson & Gehart, 2023) offers a humanizing approach to facilitating dialogues that make a difference in our fast-changing, diverse, and ever-shrinking world.

Problems with depression are among the most common and most debilitating psychological issues for which professional help is sought. Narrative therapy offers practices that have been found useful in assisting individuals with depressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This article aims to contribute to the relatively limited literature by presenting a descriptive illustration of narrative therapy in the case of a client experiencing depressive symptoms. In particular, this article aims to demonstrate how the narrative therapeutic practices of externalization and documentation can be helpful for clients whose depressive symptoms have arisen as a result of the implicit acceptance and internalization of problematic norms, standards, and expectations. The article concludes that narrative therapy deserves serious consideration as an intervention for individuals who experience symptoms associated with depression.

This article examines and contributes to the recent dialogue on narrative therapy and mindfulness (including embodiment, affect, and neuroscience) and the possibilities and dangers in combining them. To make this dialogue clearer, this article focuses on an epistemologically consistent approach to mindfulness, as found in acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). It focuses on a particular practice, Steven C. Hayes's “Guided Audio Meditation” that explores problem and preferred stories, and analyzes it using the concepts of both narrative therapy and ACT. With these foundations for the exchange of ideas, this article explores the core difficulty of this dialogue—the differences between mechanistic, formist, organicist, and contextualist epistemologies, the differences between deductive, anti-theoretical, inductive, and abductive approaches to theory, and the practical implications of these differences. In doing so it suggests how narrative therapy and ACT practitioners might learn from each other without sacrificing core ethical commitments.
本文对最近关于叙事疗法和正念(包括具体化、情感和神经科学)的对话以及将它们结合起来的可能性和危险进行了研究和贡献。为了使这种对话更清晰,本文着重于在接受和承诺治疗(ACT)中发现的一种认识论上一致的正念方法。它聚焦于一个特殊的实践,史蒂文·海耶斯(Steven C. Hayes)的“引导音频冥想”(Guided Audio Meditation),探索问题和偏好的故事,并使用叙事疗法和ACT的概念对其进行分析。有了这些思想交流的基础,本文探讨了这一对话的核心困难——机械论、形式论、有机论和语境主义认识论之间的差异,演绎、反理论、归纳和溯因理论方法之间的差异,以及这些差异的实际含义。在这样做的过程中,它表明叙事疗法和ACT从业者如何在不牺牲核心道德承诺的情况下相互学习。

Systemic therapy is predicated on a collaborative relationship between therapist and client. This joint pursuit of client goals occurs in the therapy room but may dissolve once the therapist begins filling out any necessary paperwork (e.g., progress notes, biopsychosocial evaluations, or assessments). Collaborative documentation is one means of bringing forth the client's voice during the session and for documentation. Most therapists write progress notes on their own once the session has ended; however, this leads to a privileging of the therapist's voice in the document rather than the client's voice. This article explores collaborative documentation and provides the voices of doctoral student-therapists as they experienced their initial forays into this process. We provide an explanation of how we believe collaborative documentation helped privilege the client's voice, decreased the power imbalance between therapist and client, and provided ideas as to the implementation and use of joint progress note development.

Single-session therapy (SST) is an approach to service delivery, based on the precept that the power for psychological change rests with the client. The following is a systematic review of the qualitative literature that considered the question, what are people's experiences of single-session therapy? Ten papers were selected for review. Analysis draws on Curt's (1994) concept of critical polytextuality, in which “texts” can be read to create multiple meanings. Findings suggest that what clients find helpful about SST matches what people find helpful about psychotherapy more generally. Unlike “more traditional,” longer-term psychological therapy however, SST is valued in terms of being available at the point of need (as opposed to the point at which someone reaches the top of a therapy waiting list). Analysis focuses on issues relating to time in therapy, what help means to different people, and how the complexities of people's lives may guide these meanings.

In this article, we describe recent work inspired by our interest in adapting and modifying the Eurocentric psychotherapy practices that are frequently imported into México. We have challenged assumptions about the delivery of psychological services: appointments are the optimal way to provide access, a private, cloistered office is necessary, and that therapy takes a long time. We have been implementing walk-in/single session therapy in conventional mental health settings in México for several years. This article, however, illustrates application of these ideas in an indigenous population in a remote underserved area of Oaxaca with a brief case example. After providing a summary of single-session therapy and walk-in services, we will describe one of the sessions that was sensitive to the different cultural healing practices between the U.S. and rural Oaxaca.
