“…The listening guide is a feminist narrative voice-centered method ( Doucet & Mauthner, 2008 ; Gilligan, 2015 ) consisting of three “listenings,” resulting in the production of “I Poems,” representing shifts in multiple 'contrapuntal' voices that threaded through participants’ accounts. A more detailed account of how I worked with the material and engaged with the poems can be found in a methodological paper published earlier (Frances, 2022 ). The listening guide spoke well to a dialogical theory of selfhood ( Hermans, 2001 ), recognizing that the self is not a single unitary subject, but the self is constructed of multiple 'voices' and selves, which exist in dialogue with each other, and are each situated and shaped by the person's individual biography as well as the social, cultural, and relational contexts which they live in and in which they give voice to their stories.…”

Those who experience parental domestic abuse in childhood are affected in multiple ways, but existing research uses a narrow lens, relying on psychotherapeutic and neuroscientific understandings. This article uses a dialogical theory to explore women's recovery stories. Interviews were conducted with 10 women in England and a voice-centered narrative analysis was used. This article attends to gendered, psychotherapeutic, and neoliberal narrative resources that shaped participants’ stories. It concludes that recoveries after domestic abuse in childhood can be considered as dynamic processes that are individual, as well as shaped by social, political, and relational contexts that shape storytelling practices.

Despite distinct sex- and gender-related differences in the presentation and manifestation of Crohn’s disease (CD), little research to date has considered men’s particular experiences. Whilst hegemonic masculine ideals have been reported to negatively impact men’s mental and physical health, increasingly research has emphasized that men engage in a diverse range of practices, including those beneficial to health. One such practice is posting about their illness experiences on social media. The interactive nature of posting online means that a dialogical approach, based on a relational epistemology, is particularly useful. This study therefore asked: “How do men who post publicly on social media author themselves and their experiences of CD?” Three participants were recruited, all of whom had a diagnosis of CD, wrote a blog, and posted on other social networking sites (SNSs) about CD. Two resided in Canada and one in the United Kingdom. All were white. For each participant, 2 years of multimodal social media data was downloaded. After screening, in-depth analysis was conducted using a dialogical approach focusing on three key dialogical concepts: genre, chronotope, and forms of authorship. The key findings emphasized the participants’ different responses to the lack of predictability caused by CD and the different ways they used social media to gain a greater sense of control over their illness stories and identities, providing important insights into the interaction between masculine identities and illness. Finally, the potential deployment of such methods in future research and within therapeutic contexts was considered.
