Event overview
Dr. Mark McKergow of the University of Hertfordshire will present his work applying an enactive view of psychotherapy.
Much of the existing research into an enactive view of mental health has focused on movement and physical engagement. Mark will be taking a look at psychotherapy – ‘talking cures’ – through an enactive lens to examine the way language is used in therapy. Contrasting with the cognitive perspective (‘thoughts cause actions’), we can take cues from Dan Hutto and Ludwig Wittgenstein to take a fresh look at what can sensibly be said about, and by, those suffering distress. This tour will incorporate the hybrid psychology of Rom Harré, complex systems and the Solution-Focused Brief Therapy work of Steve de Shazer to present a firmly grounded and novel way to view therapeutic conversations, raising new questions and challenging existing notions of good therapy practice.
