Systemic-dialogical therapy, however, gives relevance to responsibility, in the form of positional responsibility; that is, the responsibility one may take regarding one’s position in the relevant systems and contexts one is embedded in, and the ability to find one’s place within them. To help clients in such efforts, therapists must, in turn, take responsibility for the development of the therapeutic process. The process of taking responsibility in therapy, therefore, is twofold: it concerns clients, of course, but it also involves the therapist. This article proposes a method for working on positional responsibility in clinical work, illustrating it with clinical examples.</p>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 3","pages":"339-350"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46650513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis (IPA) study explored five women’s experiences of bereavement following the death by suicide of a male relative. One superordinate theme, directing from the shadows, and three interrelated subordinate themes: roller coasting, speaking the unspeakable, and finding meaning and living with suicide were identified. This study highlights that women bereaved by suicide may occupy a complex position in the family when trying to balance caring for themselves and others, sometimes leading them to negate their own support and therapeutic needs. However, women in this study felt supported by timely, flexible and sensitive professional responses and found a proactive outreach approach, peer support groups and counselling helpful at different stages in their bereavement process.</p>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 3","pages":"396-407"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-02-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1467-6427.12388","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44138233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We draw on Paolo Freire's idea of ‘conscientisation’, or consciousness raising – a form of self-reflexivity through the lens of power, and on the work of McKenzie-Mavinga, who highlights the importance of therapists developing their awareness and understanding of how racism operates in their lives.

For some, however, gaming can become problematic. While evidence exists for the effectiveness of cognitive behavioural therapy for gaming disorder (GD), a major challenge is that adolescents and young adults, particularly males, are often reluctant to seek help and engage long term with a mental health practitioner. This report presents a case involving brief parent-delivered contingency management for a 19-year-old male with GD who refused to engage with treatment services following a significant decline in functioning and a high-lethality suicide attempt. This approach led to a substantial reduction in gaming time, as well as related gains in self-care and independence. This case highlights the value and feasibility of developing a therapeutic alliance with a parent to manage excessive gaming behaviours among treatment-refusing individuals with GD. Practical challenges and associated lessons from managing this case are discussed.</p>\u0000 </section>\u0000 \u0000 <section>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <div>\u0000 \u0000 <h3>Practitioner points</h3>\u0000 <p>\u0000 \u0000 </p><ul>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>Brief parent-delivered contingency management was implemented for a 19-year-old treatment-refusing male with GD.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>This approach led to a substantial reduction in the young man's gaming time as well as related gains in areas of self-care and independence at 6-month follow-up.</li>\u0000 \u0000 \u0000 <li>This case highlights the value and feasibility of developing a therapeutic alliance with a parent to manage excessive gaming behaviours among treatment-refusing individuals with GD.</li>\u0000 </ul>\u0000 \u0000 </div>\u0000 </div>\u0000 </section>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":51575,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Family Therapy","volume":"44 3","pages":"370-383"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45917195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
