Abstract

COUTINHO, Ana Luisa. Definition ceremony: the pathway between the first and second listening in the therapist training process. Nova perspect. sist. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.60, pp. 37-51. ISSN 0104-7841.

The article presents an experience of theory in action in its author's formation at Instituto Familiae of São Paulo between 2010 and 2014, through a case attended at the Institute in sixteen sessions. It addresses the impact of listening to the first session of family therapy, referred to as "first listening", in contrast to the reflections that have emerged after three years, which is being called "second listening." From a socio-constructive perspective and as a member of a reflecting team, the author makes some reflections about concepts such as constitutive language of reality, empowerment, position of not-knowing and dialogism, amidst the discussion of these concepts, the changes they propose and the transformations they promote listening and in the author's relations with the report of fragments of some sessions. The title Ceremony of Definition is inspired by Michael White's Narrative Approach and consolidates the appropriation of the resources acquired in the formation course as well as in the writing process of this account. The article was written based on written and audio records of the selected sessions, maintaining the original chronology. Participant names have been changed in order to preserve their anonymity.

Keywords : Social Constructionism; Not-Knowing Position; Narrative Therapy; Dialogism; Reflecting Processes.
