We are pleased to invite researchers to submit an abstract for a chapter in an edited volume in the series ‘Palgrave studies in discursive psychology’, on interventions in delicate clinical and counselling interaction in health care.
Edited collections that deal with interventions based on DP studies are scarce. Many scholars, however, translate their empirical findings to interventions for various institutional settings, the most well-known example being the CARM training by Liz Stokoe (Stokoe, 2020). Since then, other innovative interventions have been developed and applied, or existing interventions have been applied in new settings and for new purposes. This edited volume addresses interventions in delicate clinical and counselling interaction in health care. This overview aims to inform both discursive psychologists and health care practitioners about these interventions, and to fill the gap in literature in this area.
Discursive psychology (DP) focuses on features of people’s talk and is concerned with the social practices that people perform as part of a specific interactional context (Edwards & Potter, 1992; Wiggins, 2016), especially how participants in interaction manage interactional concerns and dilemmas. Health care professionals often describe these concerns and dilemmas as challenges in their communication with patients, especially when it involves talk that participants orient to as delicate. This is for example the case for interactions about sexual health (Kelder et al., 2021; Silverman & Perakyla, 1990), palliative care (Pino et al., 2016), medically unexplained symptoms (Stortenbeker et al., 2021) or chronic pain (Stinesen et al., 2021). The main aim of the book is to present a collection of training methodologies or other types of interventions that support professionals in managing this type of delicate conversations. Secondly, this edited volume will establish the state-of-the-art in this area. It will address the practical and theoretical challenges in the development and implementation of this type of interventions. In this way, the book aims to stimulate scholars to think about ways to use their empirical findings in training sessions or workshops, and practitioners in health related settings to use DP in their professional practice.
Submission of Abstracts and Full Articles
For this book then, we explicitly invite manuscripts describing interventions for dealing with the delicate nature of health care interaction based on empirical studies examining interaction through discursive psychology.
Abstracts of up to 500 words are sought initially and will be reviewed to check that proposed chapters fit with the scope of the book. Please submit a structured abstract containing an introduction (including a description of the specific practitioner need or problem), methods, implications and conclusion. Please include the abstract, author(s) bio, and contact information in one document. The editors will review all abstracts to ensure that proposed chapters fit with the remit of this volume.
Deadlines
Abstract of proposed chapter (500 words): 10 June 2022
Notification to authors: 15 July 2022
First draft of chapters due: 31 January 2023
Deadlines for feedback and revisions of chapters will be provided to authors accepted for the volume.
