Qualitative Psychology : Introducing Radical Research Ian Parker Qualitative Psychology Qualitative Psychology “An introduction to the varieties of qualitative research in psychology is long overdue, and Parker's book should with its broad scope, accessible style, and controversial viewpoints on trends of the current qualitative wave, have a wide audience.” Steinar Kvale, Aarhus University, Denmark “This is a wonderful, insightful and necessary book…It takes students through this complex terrain in a clear, readable and yet challenging way.” Bronwyn Davies, University of Western Sydney, Australia “This book makes important contributions to theoretical, political and methodological debates on qualitative and action oriented research.” Bernardo Jiménez-Domínguez, Universidad de Guadalajara, Mexico his book is designed as a practical guide for students that is also grounded in the latest developments in theory in psychology. Readers are introduced to Ttheoretical approaches to ethnography, interviewing, narrative, discourse and psychoanalysis, with each chapter on these approaches including worked examples clearly structured around methodological stages. A case is made for new practical procedures that encourage students to question the limits of mainstream psychological research methods. Resource links guide students to theoretical debates and to ways of making these debates relevant to a psychology genuinely concerned with critical reflection and social change. The book includes numerous boxes that clearly outline: Qualitative Key issues in the development, application and assessment of qualitative research methods Current debates and problems with particular qualitative methods taught in psychology Summaries of methodological stages and points to be aware of in the Psychology marking of practical reports in relation to specific methods Coverage of ethical issues, reflexivity and good report writing Ian Parker Qualitative Psychology is essential reading for students of psychology and other Introducing Radical Research related social sciences who want a polemical account that will also serve as a well- balanced and rigorous introduction to current debates in qualitative psychology. Ian Parker is Professor of Psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University. He has been teaching qualitative methods for over twenty years and is author of numerous books on innovative research and radical theory, including Qualitative Methods in Psychology (with Banister, Burman, Taylor and Tindall, published by Open University Press in 1994).

    PART TWO ABSTRACT BOOK 9 17 September Morning programm: Plenary session from 10.15 hours till 13.00 hours Chair: Elisa Carter , MBA (NL) CEO of GGzE Eindhoven en de Kempen (Mental Health organization, clinical, polyclinic and outreached care) Member of the advising board (RvZ) for the ministry of Health Care Netherlands Member of the board of commissioners for healthcare research (Bestuur ZoNMW) Shortly after I had accepted the CEO position at the mental heath institute Maastricht I met Professor Marius Romme. We had one hour to get acquainted. We exchanged briefl y each others career, some insights on the national heath care policy and the goals for mental health services in Maastricht. I was inspired by his passionate approach and logical reasoning while explaining his research on hearing voices. This inspiration help me to focus on an other way to organize the care in such a way that we can meet the Elisa Carter MBA demands of service users effectively. Hearing voices has been regarded by psychiatry as “auditory hallucinations” and as a symptom of schizophrenia. Traditionally the usual treatment for voice hearing has been major tranquillizers and specifi c medication administered to reduce hallucinations and other symptoms. However not everyone responds to this treatment. Ideally, most professionals would see all interventions as cooperate ventures between professionals and service user, but the perception of users is often different. Nearly always, the professional is in a position of power over the service user. In a culture where the person with a mental health problem expects the work done by a professional to be akin to arranging a ceremony with supernatural signifi cance, the power is not located in either the user or the professional.

  • Space, Politics, and the Uncanny in Fiction and Social Movements
    MADNESS AS A WAY OF LIFE: SPACE, POLITICS AND THE UNCANNY IN FICTION AND SOCIAL MOVEMENTS Justine Lutzel A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY December 2013 Committee: Ellen Berry, Advisor Francisco Cabanillas Graduate Faculty Representative Ellen Gorsevski William Albertini © 2013 Justine Lutzel All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Ellen Berry, Advisor Madness as a Way of Life examines T.V. Reed’s concept of politerature as a means to read fiction with a mind towards its utilization in social justice movements for the mentally ill. Through the lens of the Freudian uncanny, Johan Galtung’s three-tiered systems of violence, and Gaston Bachelard’s conception of spatiality, this dissertation examines four novels as case studies for a new way of reading the literature of madness. Shirley Jackson’s The Haunting of Hill House unveils the accusation of female madness that lay at the heart of a woman’s dissatisfaction with domestic space in the 1950s, while Dennis Lehane’s Shutter Island offers a more complicated illustration of both post-traumatic stress syndrome and post-partum depression. Thomas Mann’s The Magic Mountain and Curtis White’s America Magic Mountain challenge our socially- accepted dichotomy of reason and madness whereby their antagonists give up success in favor of isolation and illness. While these texts span chronology and geography, each can be read in a way that allows us to become more empathetic to the mentally ill and reduce stigma in order to effect change.

A., 2005; Romme & Escher, 1989, 1996, 2000).
