“…But other models of selfhood are less compliant. Dialogical theories of the self (Hermans, 1996;Raggatt, 2000) most explicitly reject the unified, coherent, vectored, executive self. Instead, the self is seen as a landscape of voices, some consistent, some conflicting, some unrelated.…”

How is introspection related to accurate self-perception? Self-focused attention is said to facilitate accurate judgments of cognitive aspects (attitudes, standards, and attributions) and somatic aspects (sensations, arousal, physical symptoms, emotions) of self. The present skeptical review concludes that the “perceptual accuracy hypothesis” is unsupported. There is simply little direct evidence, and the indirect evidence is better explained by objective self-awareness theory's core tenet: Self-focus increases consistency motivation. Most studies have also failed to appreciate the complexity of establishing the accuracy of self-judgment. The authors discuss some conceptual issues that future work should recognize, such as the logics of accuracy research, the role of honesty standards in accurate self-reports, differences in self-perception and object perception, and the implications of different self-theories for accuracy.

“…As mentioned, historically speaking, diary writing has been employed for personal and religious development (Alaszewski, 2006) Symes, 1999). The diaries reflected both an "I" and a "me" to use Mead's terms, and sometimes they reflected many "I" positions (Raggatt, 2000). The diaries accessed the clients' contexts as part of their sense-making endeavors.…”

A Diary-Based, Cross-Contextual Case Study Methodology: Background for the Case of "Jane and Joe"

This paper describes the epistemological, theoretical, and methodological background and context of the therapy case study, "The Case of 'Jane and Joe': A Diary-Based, Cross-Contextual Case Study," published in this journal (Mackrill, 2011). The "Jane and Joe" case study served as the "raw data" of a "jury trial model" analysis, also published in this journal by Bohart, Tallman, Byock, and Mackrill (2011). The Joe and Jane case study is one of eight researched as a series with a method inspired by postmodern-oriented movements in phenomenology, post-positivism, hermeneutics, social constructionism, and action research. Specifically, the method used in analyzing the Jane and Joe case study involved the client (Jane) and therapist (Joe) following a set of diary writing guidelines for a series of 10 therapy sessions, which were audio-recorded. The therapist wrote about his experience of the sessions, and the client wrote both about her experience of the sessions, and about her new and different experiences between sessions. After the 10 sessions were competed, Joe and Jane exchanged diaries at the end of the eleventh session, and the twelfth session was dedicated to responding to the experience of reading each other's diaries. The diaries and recordings were then passed on to me as the researcher for analysis. My draft analysis of the Jane and Joe case study was next sent to Jane and Joe for comment so misinterpretations could be corrected. Jane and Joe's amendments were then incorporated into the final case study, which is published in this journal (Mackrill, 2011). The analysis of the audio recordings and the diaries followed a systematic series of procedures within a particular theoretical framework. The framework has three major dimensions: (a) a postmodern emphasis on the patient and therapist's experiences and phenomenology as they dynamically interact with one another (McLeod, 2010); (b) a postmodern emphasis on the development of the client's sense of agency during the therapeutic process; and (c) in line with Dreier's (2008) theory of cross-contextual influences, an emphasis on the importance of cross-contextual transactions between the client's experience inside and outside of therapy during the time of the therapy.Key words: psychotherapy, counseling, diaries, adult children, everyday life, cross-context theory, phenomenology, sense of agency, case studies, clinical case studies _____________________________________________________________________________________ A Diary-Based, Cross-Contextual Case Study Methodology: Background for the Case of "Jane and Joe" 157 T.

“…This analysis is intended to offer a bird's eye view of the dialogical self, enabling an easy combination of the different internal and external positions into different clusters based on their commonalities. Raggatt (2000) also makes use of qualitative and quantitative methods in order to portray the dialogical structure of the self. He does not follow the PPR protocol, however.…”

Self-multiplicity is a widely recognized phenomenon within psychology. The study of how self-continuity emerges amidst self-multiplicity remains a crucial issue, however. Dialogical approaches are widely viewed as suitable for developing this field of study but they demand coherent methods compatible with their theoretical bases. After reviewing the available methods for the study of the dialogical self, as well as other dialogical methods for the study of psychotherapy, we conclude that we still lack a method which can be used by external observers and is devoted to the systematic tracing of the dialogical dynamics of self-positions as they unfold over time. A new method, positioning microanalysis, is described in detail as a possible way to overcome current limitations in methods focused on the dialogicality inherent in selfhood processes. Positioning microanalysis takes a genetic-developmental perspective on dialogical processes in the self and allows for the depiction of microgenetic movements of self-positions over time and the establishment of more or less stable sequences or patterns of positions. This is illustrated by its application to an emotion-focused therapy session.
