“…We seek to find ways to let adolescents and their families know that we are present and engaged with them in the room. Part of doing this involves, without challenging, listening respectfully and responsively to the voice of every participant, even the most acutely psychotic (Trimble, ). Our focus is not primarily aimed at the content of the session, but rather at being present and continuing in ‘sensible dialogue’ with the client (Rober, , p. 388).…”

In the exchange between living persons in the therapy room there is a dialogical space, which, when attended to, may create therapy enhancing possibilities. This article explores three aspects of the dialogical space -context, the therapeutic relationship and the therapist's use of self -to consider how this space promotes trust, acceptance and dialogue when engaging and working with adolescents in family therapy. It proposes that the focus of the dialogical approach on the human experience of therapy offers an authenticity, which is refreshing when working with adolescents and their families.

The primary aim of the three Milan principles of hypothesising, circularity and neutrality was to proffer an effective methodology for interviewing families, with a secondary aim of casting off the stereotypical personal therapist qualities such as intuition, charisma and concern. The progression of the principles from the original Milan model through to contemporary approaches is intriguing. The following article consists of two sections. First it tracks the progression of the three principles through the Milan, post‐Milan and postmodern approaches to family therapy. Given their recursive nature, they are revealed as responsive to developments in theory and practice, as well as the influence of the wider societal context. The second section of the article explores hypothesising, circularity and neutrality in the contemporary approach of dialogical family therapy. The relevance of the three principles to the therapeutic process, the therapeutic role and the therapeutic relationship is considered. Such an exploration does not seek definitive answers or ‘truths’, but seeks to conceptualise a vague ‘knowing’ that there is continual learning and growth in grappling with the tensions in this field, in remaining ever curious, in asking the questions …

“…The same team remain involved throughout treatment. Witnesses to this 'open dialogue' approach report that people, often quite frightened, are soothed when a deliberating atmosphere is generated, and every one is listened to respectfully and responsively, even the acutely psychotic (Trimble 2002). This to us, is what we mean by manaakitanga in mental health.…”

The active engagement of clients in mental health services offers far greater chances of successful outcomes. When clients do not actively engage in treatment, their risk of becoming part of the population of 'high users' is greater. The 'high users' consume a disproportionate share of health resources, which may prevent other potential clients from accessing services. Engagement can be particularly challenging in crisis situations, which is how many clients attracting psychotic diagnoses first enter the service. New Zealand Māori bring a transcendent quality to the idea of 'respect for Other', which would make it sacrilegious to overpower Other in most situations. This paper reviews a growing body of literature indicating how we might integrate an enhanced respect or reverence of Other into clinical practice. This includes the idea of engaging more frequently with the social network when building rapport with an individual is particularly challenging. There is some evidence that services adopting this kind of approach are more economical.
