作者认为定性研究和心理治疗都是创造意义的项目。定性研究可能为参与者提供治疗机会,有时会对适当的界限产生困惑,但心理治疗并不垄断治疗。定性研究和心理治疗产生的意义(或故事)以不同的方式传播,定性研究更公开地进入公共领域,而心理治疗的意义主要通过生活方式传播。定性研究通常并不旨在产生忠实的表述,但有时个人经历与其叙述之间的差距可能会令人不安,特别是在创伤经历的情况下。利用两人关系和三人关系之间的精神分析区别及其与象征化的联系,作者阐述了第三位置的概念,她用它来阐明经验流和我们的经验叙述之间的差距。作者展示了第三种立场如何植根于损失,以及损失如何成为我们好奇心和反思生活的能力所固有的。
The author argues that qualitative research and psychotherapy are both projects of making meaning. Qualitative research may provide therapeutic opportunities for participants that sometimes generate confusion about appropriate boundaries, but psychotherapy does not have a monopoly on the therapeutic. The meanings ( or stories) that qualitative research and psychotherapy generate circulate differently, qualitative research entering the public domain more overtly, while psychotherapeutic meanings circulate primarily through the way lives are lived. Qualitative research does not generally purport to produce faithful representations, but sometimes the gap between personal experience and its narration can be troubling, especially in the case of traumatic experience. Drawing on the psychoanalytic distinction between two-person and three-person relating and its link to symbolization, the author elaborates the concept of the third position, which she uses to illuminate this gap between the flow of experience and our narrations of experience. The author shows how the third position is rooted in loss and how loss is therefore intrinsic to our capacity for curiosity and reflection on our lives.
