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.","PeriodicalId":245719,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Systemic Therapies","volume":"1004 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116239728","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":245719,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Systemic Therapies","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130660827","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":245719,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Systemic Therapies","volume":"42 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128915657","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":245719,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Systemic Therapies","volume":" 3","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132075942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

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.","PeriodicalId":245719,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Systemic Therapies","volume":"19 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122944918","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
