The Treatment Meeting
• No prior planning, no chairperson
• Introducing ourselves
• Two times
• Why each participant is present
• Telling what we know already
• Being public or transparent
• F.i. ‖The school nurse told me that….‖
• ‖How would You like to use this time?‖
The Treatment Meeting
• Discussing with the family and the network about the themes
important to them
• Reflecting the themes
• No separate reflecting team
• Decisions and plans if possible or needed
• At least the next meeting
• Who will be present
• No long term plans
Guiding principles at a treatment
meeting
• All observations are correct and legitimate
• All feelings are correct and legitimate
• All observations and feelings are equally valuable
• Everyone has a right (and an obligation) to express his/her
observations and feelings
• Everyone has an obligation (and a right) to hear what others
have observed and felt
Significance of the treatment
meeting
1. Emergence of a sense of joint exprience
2. Commenting and defining the observations of the team
members and other participants
3. Reflecting the ‖counter feelings‖ emerging during the
conversation
THE GOAL:
Facilitating dialogical conversation
Building up joint understanding
Creating a need adapted plan

REFLECTIVE
CONVERSATION
• Reflective processes comprises shifts between talking
and listening
• When talking to listener we are in outer dialogue,
while listening to someone’s talk we are in inner
dalogue with ourselves
• Team members discuss openly with each other their
own observations what they have thought about
what family members have previously said
REFLECTIVE
CONVERSATION
• it is important to look at one with whom we speak,
maintaining the separation between the listening and
talking positions
• After reflective conversation, family members are
asked if they have some comments on reflection
Practical advice
• When listening
• Listen carefully, don’t talk with other listeners
• Listen to the conversation AND to yourself
• When talking
• Talk subjectively
• Concentrate on your own impressions
• Don’t tell truths
Practical advice
• Talk in a tentative manner
• I’m not sure,but…
• This was my observation, I possibly misunderstood…
• Look at the one you are talking to
• Let the family and the team just listen in peace, don’t
address them

Priciple No 1
From 1984:
‖You are not allowed to talk
about patients or families
when they are not present‖
Social Constructionism
• There are many realities
– No one reality is self-evident
– There are no self-evident ways to understand the world
• Historical and cultural specifity
– Our ways of observing and understanding depend on when and where we
live
– Contextualism
Social Constructionism
• Our worldview is created in social processes
– Everyday social interactions between people create mutual understandings
• Worldview and social actions go together
– Different constructions of reality lead to different actions
(The central idea in this book is that)…
We create the world that we perceive, not because there is
no reality outside our heads (…) but because we select
and edit the reality we see to conform to our beliefs about
what sort of world we live in.
Mark Engel in his Foreword to G.Batesons Steps to an
Ecology of Mind
Collaborative Relationship
• A particular way in which we orient ourselves to be, respond
and act with another person that invites the other into shared
engagement and joint action.
• A relationship in which people connect, collaborate and create
with each other.
• A social activity—a community--that requires a sense of
participation and ownership for all participants.
©Harlene Anderson
A Process of Shared Inquiry
Toward Understanding
• Dialogue is a process of trying to understand an other.
• Understanding is an active process not a passive one
• Rather than understanding another person’s words from a theory, try to
understand by responding to learn.
• Check-out to see if you have heard what the other wants you to hear.
• Develop local understandings that come from within the conversation.

they mean

• Comments and questions on yesterday
• Why do we work like this (II)
• Basic theorethical ideas
• Dialogism
• Polyphony
• Shared expertise, the not-knowing position, whitness
• Contextualism, local knowledge, clients’ language
• Family consultation
Polyphony
• Wikipedia:
• in music, polyphony (from the Greek πολύς /po΄lis/ many
and φωνή /fo΄ni/ voice) is a texture consisting of two or
more independent melodic voices, as opposed to music with
just one voice (monophony) or music with one dominant
melodic voice accompanied by chords (homophony)

Dialogism
What is it and what does it require
Open dialogue
• Dialogue is important through the whole organisation
• The non-hierarchical and respectful atmosphere
• Dialog is a very simple happening. It is in fact so simple that
we have difficulties to believe in it’s simplicity.
• It is the first thing we learn in life already in our first hours or
days.
• Still it seems to be one of the hardest and challenging things in
our work.
Jaakko Seikkula
Presence
• Being in this moment
• Concentrating on what is, how is and what happens now
• ‖Clients’‖ things and concerns are most important at this moment
• Don’t let your mind wander elsewhere
• No hurry
• Take time enough for discussion and give time for thoughts
Safety
• Freedom
• You don’t need to know the answers or speak about things that can’t be discussed yet
• Safety
• We can discuss even the difficult matters. We don’t have to do that if one of us don’t want to
• No need to be afraid of physical or psychological offence
• Knowledge and sophistication of therapists
Listening
• Listen what peole say, not what they mean
• Be interested in what people say
• Ask for more, repeat their words and ask them to tell more
• Every one’s voice ( thoughts, experiences, story) is important
and deserves to be heared equally
Answering
• In a dialogical conversation every statement is an answer to the
previous statement and waits for an answer
• Your own word is answer to others’ words
• Connect with the talk of the clients
• Respect the speaker’s right to talk and his/her theme
• Don’t interrupt or change the subject suddenly
Sharing together
• Many voices bring different meanings to conversation
• Meanings become richer from each other
• New understanding is created and meanings transform
• E.g. From sickness/problem talk to resource talk
• Shared space of experience
• Powerful shared emotional experience
Mutual respect
• I can be interested in the life of my clients, even though I don’t
approve of the way they live it
• I can listen and be interested also in those viewpoints that I
don’t support
• Every person needs attention and an answer to his/her
question or actions:
• ‖The most terrible thing for a voice or a human being is to be left without
an answer‖ (Bahtin)
Dialogical Conversation
• Listening conversation
• I am openly present and prepared to hear you
• Answering to what has been heared
• What I say connects to what has been said just before
• It is an answer to it, it comments it and at the same time expects for an
answer
• Sharing together meanings and different wievs, creating new
meanings
Kauko Haarakangas
Monological conversation
• Dictating ‖converstion‖
• The speaker doesn’t expect immedate answer
• Connotes an idea of THE Truth
• Undisputed knowing is an enemy to dialogism because it closes
out dialogue
• Dialogue usually has monological phases
• Called monological dialogue
Kauko Haarakangas
Elements of dialogism (10)
• 1. It is safe to talk about all matters, even the
difficult ones
• 2. You are allowed to express your self
• All opinions and feelings are permitted
• 3. Everybody has a right and an opportunity to become
heared
• 4. No one (no voice) is better than others
• 5. Desire to hear what others have to say
Kauko Haarakangas
Elements of dialogism (10)
• 6. Readiness to reflect on, doubt and change one’s own
viewpoins
• 7. You don’t have to know definitely, no one owns the
absolute truth
• 8. Collaborative pondering and sharing
• 9. Permission to be one self
• 10. Responsibility for one self and for the others
Kauko Haarakangas
Motto
• How could I talk in a way that increases others’ desire to listen
And
• How could I listen in a way that increases others’ desire to talk

Preliminary Programme
• Saturday 12.9.2009
• Closing the week
• Summary of our discussions
• Reflections in small groups
• What made sense, what did not
• General discussion
• Were expectations and questions on monday answered?
• Further wishes, topics, questions to Birgitta and Kari
From Individual to Network
Orientation
• Resource questions– Who knows
– Who can help
• Change in the thinking of the team– Who should be included
• Other professionals, the social network of the client…
• Mapping the network– How does the social network of the client look like
– Where are the resources
• Network meetings– Special occations, difficult situations
The need adapted treatment
model
• Developed at Turku by Yrjö Alanen and his team
• Basic principles:
• Immediate help in crisis situations
• Help adapted to each patient’s and family’s specific and changing needs
• Psychotherapeutic attitude in all treatment
• The process nature of planning and implementing treatment
Ajatuksia
• OD is not a strategy or a technique, but a way of thinking and
relating to other people and the world.
• Practise came first, theory and explanations later
• Trial and error
• You can’t predict the future by looking at the past because the
past is constantly changing (Bahtin)
Ajatuksia
The (hi)story of the development of OD is not an objective one. It is our story, influenced by our own contexts and experiences. If you were to ask someone else, you would get a different account
Tom’s idea of a ‖vandringsman‖, a wanderer who encounters crossroads. He chooses one road and discards many others.
One of most important things affecting our choises has been the feelings of comfort and discomfort.
On social constructionism: Social knowledge is local, not universal
Multiple views
Social universe and physical world
If you kick a stone…/If you kick a dog…
Trivial and nontrivial machines (Heinz von Foerster)
Origins of open dialogue
• Need-Adapted approach – Yrjö Alanen
• Integrating systemic family therapy and psychodynamic psychotherapy
• Treatment meeting 1984
• Systematic analysis of the approach since 1988 –‖social action research‖
• Systematic family therapy training for the entire staff – since 1989 (continuing)
