“…Thus expecting a citizen of the majority world to self-disclose as a way of generating clinical material is to ask him or her to operate in a minority culture mode of self-representation, and to violate the integrity of the lifestories of the collective of which the individual 's story is apart. For that reason, people in the majority world have been observed to be very tentative in their initial commitment and participation of mainstream psychological practice, and to take a longer time to establish a working relationship with the psychologist (Fong & Cox, 1983;Johnson, 1993, Mpofu, 1994b.…”

The experiences of African communities are significantly underrepresented in the current psychological literature as compared to those of Western European and North American communities. Professional psychology in sub‐Saharan African is either nonexistent or strongly modeled after practices in North America and Western Europe. The modeling of psychology in sub‐Saharan Africa on the North American and Western European experience is a result of the more extensive marketing of the Western cultural heritage around the globe by national governments, education institutions and international aid agencies vis a vis the marketing of alternative cultural heritages. It is also reflective of the historically unequal intercultural exchanges between Western and African cultural heritages and in favour of the former. A greater representation of the African experience in the psychological literature could add to the richness and global relevance of psychology.

“…Later, it might involve "breaking the silence" by asking both open-ended and specific questions about various phases of the athlete's career (including the latter stages when retirement issues may have first become salient), tactfully confronting persistent denial, encouraging self-exploration of roles, values, interests and skills (Petitpas et al, 1997), and/or recognizing client-initiated tests of trust. Such tests include revealing secrets, deprecating oneself, requesting favors, inconveniencing the counselor, and questioning the counselor's dedication (Fong & Cox, 1989).…”

In this paper, we examine the account-making model of Harvey, Weber, and Orbuch (1990) as a framework for understanding negative reactions to retirement from competitive sport. Theoretical aspects of the model are first summarized, and a case study is then presented to illustrate the central role of account-making in the adjustment process for an Olympic gold medallist. We conclude by suggesting ways that sport psychology consultants can facilitate account-making and thereby help athletes to cope with distressful reactions to retirement.

“…Issues that relate to boundaries, imperatives, duality of roles and limitations on trust should be discussed openly (Gottlieb, 1993). Fong and Cox (1983) advise that wherever freedom or trust is limited within a relationship we should make it explicit. If the worker experiences`incongruent' (Rogers, 1951) or`double-bind' (Sluzki et al, 1967) communications then a deficiency can occur in the interpersonal process, a result of which might be a failure to develop a sense of trust in oneself.…”

Some reflections on clinical supervision: an existential-phenomenological paradigm

This paper reviews psychotherapy, counselling, and nursing literature related to ideas of clinical supervision and attempts to illuminate areas important to effective health related practice and specifically palliative care. Included are explorations of existentialism, phenomenology, existential phenomenology and psychoanalytical concepts. The phenomenological idea of lived experience is outlined and the Heideggerian notion of authenticity is explored in context. The paper also examines dynamic forces such as hope, trust and personal values that might influence clinical supervision design and so inform a framework for practice. An existential-phenomenological method of supervision is offered as one basis for professional practice. The central recommendation of this paper is, however, to identify relevant value and belief systems to direct clinical supervision. Nursing models might appropriately instruct approaches to supervision. The writer considers the phenomenological idea of the lived experiences as a means by which to at once capture the essence of palliative care nursing and guide the supervision towards the existential idea of authenticity.
