Declining expert knowledge: Explorations of narrative therapeutic and community practice around mental health concerns
Although expert knowledge and positivism has been subjected to a long history of critique in the field of mental health, both inside and outside the field, expert knowledge and positivism still occupy a substantial place in the practice or mental health service delivery. This workshop will explore different options for declining expert knowledge. These options will be informed by the narrative approach.
Consideration will be given to:
– accountability,
– the elaboration of double-storied work,
– the power relations of gratitude and ways to be on the lookout for it showing up in our work,
– alternative practices around “psychiatric genetics”
– and Edward Shorter’s concept of “symptom pool” which can morph in “symptom contamination”.
The workshop consist of
– lectures
– the sharing of therapeutic and group practice stories,
– the opportunity to ’try out’ how the ideas may translate to your context.
