Some key points I take from this:
Ø Anderson practised at the Galveston group.
Ø MIT team (Multiple Impact Theory) - short term therapy in which member of the team conversed with various member of the family, sharing (never rejecting) differing opinions on illness, problem, aetiology etc.
Ø team principals around i) human creativity was boundless ii) understand differing points of view iii) team models communication
Ø Influenced by Bateson & Jackson & MRI research in to communication.
Ø interest in language was from a hermeneutic perspective and later a social constructionist perspective
Ø 'learn to speak the clients language'
o encourages therapist to be genuinely interested in clients stories
o families themselves did no have a language, no consensus was a resource
o listen differently and speak to one person at a time
o inter professional talk became language of the client
o mutual enquiry encourages clients to enquire, think about their own lives
o no longer needed intervention s ( but Anderson suggests the intervention ideas could be used as a resource)
o no longer stay behind mirror
Ø Onion Theory –
o No longer inflexible layers to systems, , therapists are part of system, not outside.
o one risk is therefore pathology is bumped up a level, pathology still encouraged.
o Systems now viewed as ecosystemic, flexible
o 'evolutionary systems' - non lineal, self-organising, self-recursive, constant state of change
o helps view process rather than change
o therapists cannot therefore have any unilateral control over a family
o System therefore seen as people convening over a relevance (i.e. a problem) which once the relevance dissolves so can the system.
How does Harlene experience collaborative as cost effective? For me, the idea of introducing first order change in a direct way, for some clients can introduce difference, or the sense of difference expediently.
