Brief Overview of Dialogical Psychotherapy - Tim Kellebrew
Author:
Abstract
The philosophy of Martin Buber as a philosopher of dialogue is well known to philosophy, philosophy of religion, and philosophical anthropology. His thoughts and how they have been applied to human counseling and psychotherapy are however, less well known. This brief work presents an overview of some of the modern and postmodern therapists and analysts who have drawn from his philosophy important principles that guide their clinical practice. Drawing upon the distinction made by Maurice Friedman (2003) between ‘therapists of dialogue’ and ‘dialogical therapists’ the basic elements of a dialogical approach to counseling and psychotherapy are discussed. Some of the philosophical implications of the development of self and other in the therapeutic context are also briefly discussed.
Section I. Introductory Thoughts (History and Development of Dialogical Psychotherapy).
In counseling and psychotherapy, there have been a number of approaches based on the idea of dialogue with both children and adults. Some of these approaches have explored the possibilities of a Dialogical Self, have drawn from the works of Bakhtin (1986) and others from the Soviet school, or emphasized the work of Hermans (2002). (Some definitions of a Dialogical Self include constructs associated with multiple voices within an individual. The person must then make a narrative, guiding them through situations). Another approach from Finland is Dialogical Sequence Analysis which is being used in what some have called a Dialogical approach to counseling or psychotherapy that utilizes the work of Mikael Leiman (2004). Some have also termed this approach Cognitive Analytic Therapy or CAT.)
Instead of focusing on the schools of thought that emphasize a Dialogical Self, this paper draws upon the work of a philosopher who has not yet received widespread attention for his ideas applied to counseling or psychotherapy: Martin Buber and his notions of a philosophical anthropology, the importance of dialogue, (also known as his philosophy of dialogue) and healing through meeting. These ideas and others have led to a ‘Dialogical Psychotherapy’ developed by Buber and his followers. This paper describes this Dialogical Psychotherapy as it has unfolded, discussing its implications for the practice of counseling and clinical practice.
My later discussion will show how the two views of the Dialogical Self and Dialogical Other differ as one approach appears to be more constructivist in terms of the individual’s thinking process and the other appears to focus more on the interpersonal realm. Although, both approaches do address the constructs of self and other, Dialogical Psychotherapists from Buber’s perspective have not traditionally thought of intrapsychic thinking and processes as dialogue, but rather as instances of dialectic and monologue. To these practitioners, dialogue occurs in the between, or interhuman realm of meeting. Consequently, the two approaches may represent different operational meanings of the term ‘Dialogical’.
My discussion in Section II begins with some of the key concepts of Buber’s work that have influenced the development of Dialogical Psychotherapy. Although many of Buber’s works and lived out relationships with others formed the basis of Dialogical Psychotherapy, the major works I draw upon are I and Thou (Buber, 1958, originally published 1923); The Knowledge of Man (Buber, 1965a); and Between Man and Man (Buber, 1965b); as well as Buber’s Foreword to Hans Trub’s (1952) work,
