On using first person methods to model change in psychotherapy: A multi-case study underpinned by autoethnography (1-hour online lecture)

Presented here are the findings from my PhD research: a multicase study from my own counselling practice with four clients who presented with embodied expressions of distress. I set out to build models of therapeutic change. However a parallel thesis emerged during the project: an autoethnographic account in which my uses of supervision, personal therapy, dreams and life events, intersect with formal stages of theory development. Sessions were audio recorded and coded for qualitative markers indicating the emergence of novel self-narratives. Therapeutic change was typified by an evolving internalised map of self and world, with corresponding change in embodied experience. However a reflexive narrative running throughout the work highlights the superordinate role of reflexivity in theory development. The continuous evolution of change concepts reflects the theory building work of clinicians in their everyday practice. Presenter: Dr John Hills is now a Senior Lecturer at Leeds Beckett University, leading on the MA Integrative Counselling program. His current research interests include the engagement of the psychotherapy profession with the social determinants of mental health.You will be emailed the Zoom link a few days before the event.
