The therapist's self in dialogical family therapy: Some ideas about not-knowing and the therapist's inner conversation

Article Abstract:

The focus is on the therapist's self, which is in line with Bakhtin's thinking, viewed as a dialogical self. It is argued that not-knowing does not only refer to the therapist's inner receptivity and respect but also implies that therapist is aware of his or her experience and reflects how this inner conversation would inform and enrich therapeutic conversation.
