Accusation, Mitigation and Resisting Guilt In Talk

However whilst this research has provided access to the process of ‘negotiating’ guilt in these highly ritualized and formal contexts the ascription, negotiation and resistance of
guilt is not restricted to these institutions. Rather deciding someone’s ‘guilt’ or resisting such a categorisation can be seen as part of the routine everyday work of social life. In this paper we use the method of Membership Categorisation Analysis
to examine two instances where “guilt” is a matter of local negotiation between parties and where the consequences are purely a matter for the participants at hand: a narrative therapy counseling session and a conversation between friends. In the first site the negotiation is around a participant ‘feeling guilty’ whilst in the second, guilt is attributed to absent third party. Through our analysis we highlight that the interactional work of ascribing and resisting ‘guilt’ is both a routine feature of social interaction and that this routine feature is organised through members’ methodical use of descriptions and accounts embedded in a common sense relationship between individual and categorial actions.

We use the concept of ‘reactivity mechanisms’ (Espeland and Sauder, 2007) to explain how regulatory transparency disrupts practices through simplifying and decontextualizing them, altering practitioners' reflexivity, leading to defensive forms of practice. We make an empirical contribution by exploring the impact of transparency on doctors compared with psychotherapists and counsellors, who represent an extreme case due to their uniquely complex practice, which is particularly affected by this form of regulation. We make a contribution to knowledge by developing a model of reactivity mechanisms, which explains how clinical professionals make sense of media and professional narratives about regulation in ways that produce emotional reactions and, in turn, defensive reactivity to transparency.

Sweden provides the setting in which the current study was carried out. This qualitative case study focuses on how one highly gifted individual—a 27-year old male—has experienced his school years and university training and how successful counselling for him was construed. The case is argued to be fairly typical, and it is also suggested that Received Mentorship might be the only way to counsel a gifted individual in a forbidding egalitarian setting. The article concludes by proposing a number of recommendations for Counselors who work in similar settings

Recursion: A Theological Axiom for Relationships

From Marriage & Family: A Christian Journal

This article introduces theological language used when discussing the nature of the relationship between the three... more This article introduces theological language used when discussing the nature of the relationship between the three persons of the Trinity, and explains a particular concept of knowing God and others based on a biblical vision (relational/recursive) and distinguished from modern, scientific concepts of knowing (relational). Focusing on recursion as a helpful model in counseling, this article explains how the systemically relational mirror model of recursion visually depicts trust and intimacy in a systems orientation which includes internal thoughts, while the essentially rational onion model of recursion unnecessarily perpetrates the idea of isolated self portrayed in Western Enlightenment thought. Finally, the article illustrates how recursion shapes counseling in practical ways, successfully integrating cognitive and behavioral modalities into a relational, theological model.

With countless undocumented youth falling through the cracks in the transition from high school to college and with a growing immigrant population, it is imperative that educators understand the undocumented student experience to better understand how they development educational and career aspirations and serve their unique needs.

This literature review explores current research that focuses on the student development of immigrant youth.
