American psychologists have long defined their discipline by its methods, and ideas of rigor have been central to organizing its methodological boundaries. In pursuit of rigor, psychologists have emphasized carefully controlled experimental designs, highly scrutinized measurements, and sophisticated statistical analyses to produce generalized understandings of human behavior. The present study challenges the discipline to associate rigor with ethnographically informed inquiry contributing richly situated knowledge. The authors developed a 19-week clinical ethnography in partnership with a behavioral health clinic in a midwestern urban American Indian community health organization to understand how culture and culture concepts influenced clinical practice. Participants included 5 clinicians and 20 additional health organization administrators, staff, and volunteers involved with behavioral health services. Data collection entailed participant observation in all settings within the clinic (except client encounters), interviews with key personnel, and collection of clinic materials (e.g., clinical handouts). Data analysis was ongoing during data collection to identify patterns of interest. Following data collection, we conducted a thematic analysis of a semistructured interview with clinicians on culture and the clinic and then contextualized this interview analysis with reference to relevant patterns identified in the ethnographic data corpus. The findings highlighted a disjunction between how therapists thought about culture in the abstract during formal interviews (cultural reconnection) and how they described and demonstrated culture in day-to-day clinical practice (cultural reimagination). This contrast illustrates why a rigorous psychological science must embrace ethnographically informed modes of inquiry to represent, with specificity, contextualization, and vividness, the shared and divergent understandings and circumstances facilitating and constraining behavior in natural settings.

Despite recent research interest in migrant psychology, little attention has been paid to the emotional reactions of guilt and shame resulting from migrants’ decision to leave their homeland. Universalist theories have yielded to an understanding of emotions as culturally contextualised and interpersonally constituted phenomena. For reasons associated with South Africa’s racial history and the social dynamics following the 1994 transition to democracy, some white migrants from this country display specific manifestations of guilt and shame related to their migration decision. Using a psychosocial research approach, 14 in-depth interviews were conducted with white South Africans who migrated to Australia following the democratic transition. Explicit and implicit expressions of migration-induced guilt and shame were evident in many research participants. In addition to guilt associated with leaving loved ones to an uncertain future, participants reported complex admixtures of guilt and shame at having been apartheid beneficiaries, internalising racist attitudes, and ‘abandoning’ their motherland at a critical historical juncture. Disavowed guilt and shame was evident in some participants, indicating defensive efforts to avoid acknowledging and experiencing these painful emotional states.

In this study, we investigated the subjective experiences of 6 individuals from Spain who grew up with a parent with schizophrenia. Our objectives were to explore participants’ perceptions of the effects of these experiences upon their development and their sense of continuing impact upon their adult lives and relationships. Our approach was guided by interpretative phenomenological analysis and data collection involved in-depth interviews with participants. Three themes were generated: role change and loss, prison of silence, and “Who am I?”. The findings highlighted the stigma of schizophrenia in society, a lack of support, emotional deprivation in childhood, and lasting negative effects for these participants upon their world view.
