The Response of the Other in the Therapeutic Relationship (commentary on Morioka)
نویسنده
چکیده
This commentary further explores how therapeutic relationships can create the potential for transformation. Morioka (2008) draws on the dialogical self theory to discuss the role of tension, dialogue, and through the concepts of utushi and ma, the possibility for new configurations of time and space in the dialogical self. A deep concern for the quality of the response of the other is apparent in Morioka’s writing, especially in relation to the promise of new meanings that may be achieved in the therapeutic relationship. Since the therapist plays a central role in providing the appropriate context for such achievements, I advocate for the exploration of multivoicedness in both client and therapist. I also discuss how power differences pervade the social roles of therapist and client, and the significance of this institutionalized inequality in the therapeutic relationship.

متن کاملRegulation of the Self in the Therapeutic Environment (commentary on Morioka)
In Morioka’s paper “Voices of the self,” self-other relationships are viewed as potentially problematic as a result of the other’s lack of sensitivity to the tonus of a conversation. This presents a threat to an individual’s sense of self, and can possibly lead to a breakdown of the self-regulatory processes. One possible way of reconstructing these processes is through the therapeutic interact...
