Psychosis Is Not Illness but a Survival Strategy in Severe Stress: A Proposal for an Addition to a Phenomenological Point of View

2018

Phenomenology often looks at psychosis as a defined pathological state. In this paper, psychosis is not seen as a (pathological) state but as a way to respond in extreme stress. It is psychological functioning of the embodied and relational mind, and psychotic experience can be seen as one form of affective arousal among any other affects. Taken the point of views of Emmanuel Levinas and Mikhail Bakhtin about the primacy of living in responsive relationships, psychotic behavior is seen as emerging in relationships that do not guarantee adequate responses and thus the subject is imposed to isolate from social relationships and developing odd behavior. If dialogical responses are guaranteed, …

Therapists’ Responses for Enhancing Change Through Dialogue: Dialogical Investigations of Change

2016

The point of view on research represented here is based on a dialogical framework. Our emphasis is on understanding the contribution of the therapists to the process of change. We conceptualize therapeutic conversation as a dialogical activity. In using the research method The Dialogical Investigation of Happenings of Change (DIHC) the focus is on how therapists participate and answer from a specific position of “responsive responsibility.” In this chapter our aim is twofold: (1) to present a method for conducting a dialogical analysis of couple sessions and (2) to track detailed sequences of events of change. To make sense of the details of this process, we use Bakhtinian concepts includin…

Constructing Healing Dialogues in Group Treatment for Men Who Have Used Violence Against Their Intimate Partners

2012

Although various “talking cure” treatments typically constitute an important part of practices in social work and mental health services, there are few studies on the actual “talk-within-the-cure.” This qualitative study examined talk in group treatment for men who had used violence against their intimate partners. Using the method termed Dialogical Investigations, the aim of the present study was to examine the construction of “healing dialogues,” that is, dialogues that promote change in clients, within treatment conversations. The results of the micro-analysis suggest that mutually responsive and constructive dialogical interaction and talk with symbolic language may support the emergenc…

In Search of Dialogicity: A Comparison of Curricular Documents and Classroom Interactions from Finland and Hong Kong

2017

The prevailing consensus is that science teaching should be more student-centered and guide learners towards more phenomenon-based and authentic problem-solving activities. This approach is reflected in educational policies and recently reformed curricula. However, there is limited research on how these frameworks actually manifest in curricula and how to facilitate student-centered pedagogy. In this study, we examine the student-centered features of the curricula of two countries: Finland and Hong Kong. Student-centeredness in the classroom can be assessed using the principles of dialogicity. Dialogic principles underpin student-centeredness, particularly in teacher-orchestrated whole-clas…

Myślenie dialogiczne. W polu gry o prawdę etyczną

2019

Przedmiotem analiz artykułu jest pojęcie myślenia dialogicznego. Jest ono różne od pojęcia dialogu – literackiej figury, która służy do przekazywania poglądów filozoficznych. Myślenie dialogiczne, jako merytorycznie nowy sposób uprawiania filozofii, pojawia się dopiero w początkach XX wieku. Zrodziło się ono jako sprzeciw wobec redukcyjnych metod nauk przyrodniczych i przeniesienia ich w obszar myśli humanistycznej i antropologicznej. W ten sposób powstał nowy nurt filozoficzny – filozofia dialogu. Rozwijał się w duchu uwag krytycznych kierowanych pod adresem dotychczasowej tradycji filozofii zachodniej. W artykule przedstawione zostały konstytutywne cechy myślenia dialogicznego. Najpierw p…

Educational dialogue among teachers experiencing different levels of self-efficacy

2021

This study examines the occurrence and quality of educational dialogue in the Grade 1 classrooms of teachers with low, moderate and high self-efficacy beliefs. Video recordings of 24 teachers were analysed based on episodes of educational dialogue and were categorised with respect to patterns of dialogic teaching. Teachers with low levels of self-efficacy conducted educational dialogue the least; they also used less teacher-initiated, high-quality dialogue compared with moderate and high self-efficacy teachers. Teachers with high self-efficacy utilised more child-initiated high-quality dialogue compared with the moderate self-efficacy teachers. The findings are important because they provid…

Educational Impact Evaluation of Professional Development of In-Service Teachers: The Case of the Dialogic Pedagogical Gatherings at Valencia “On Gia…

2021

There is a broad consensus on the impact of teacher quality on students’ outcomes. However, the debate on how to evaluate the impact of teacher training on student improvement remains open. The evaluation of the impact of in-service teacher training, organized in a network for different schools, has been analyzed very little to date. Our research displays an innovative approach in this regard, through an In-Service Professional Development Program based upon scientific evidence and dialogic principles: The Pedagogical Gatherings “On Giant’s Shoulders”. We conducted a multilevel communicative study to analyze its impact upon students’ achievement and schools’ outcomes whose teachers taking p…

Modelo comunitario de convivencia en educación primaria

2016

Las escuelas que son comunidades de aprendizaje trabajan por la superación de la violencia de género siguiendo la línea de socialización preventiva y desarrollando el modelo dialógico de resolución de conflictos. En este artículo, a través de la realización de un estudio de caso en un aula de segundo de primaria, identificamos algunas de las interacciones sociales que están contribuyendo a afrontar situaciones de violencia que ocurren en la escuela, así como transformar las relaciones entre el alumnado. Estas interacciones han sido reflexionadas en el marco de las tertulias literarias dialógicas. Su análisis ha puesto de relieve, como estrategias efectivas para la mejora de la convivencia e…

Change is an ongoing ethical event: Levinas, Bakhtin and the dialogical dynamics of becoming

2013

In this article, we use the intersubjective ethics of Bakhtin and Levinas and a case illustration to explore change in therapy as an ethical phenomenon. We follow Lakoff and Johnson in their emphasis on the way our conceptions of change seem permeated by metaphors. Bakhtin and Levinas both suggest through a language in which metaphors play a crucial role, that human existence—the consciousness and the subject—emerge within the dialogue of the encounter. They both describe the dynamics of human existence as ethical in their origin. Following this, we argue that change may be seen as an ongoing ethical event and that the dynamics of change are found in the ways we constantly become in this ev…
