Changing practice discourse from inside practice : borrowing from the arts

Sheridan Linnell, Janice Ollerton

Research output: Chapter in Book / Conference PaperChapter

Abstract

When Sheridan saw Janice Ollerton’s name next to her own on the schedule of authors for this book excitement rose – accelerando – from Sheridan’s belly to her cheeks. She knew at once that serendipity – a word Janice used in their first conversation together about the chapter – was in play. Sheridan had read some of Janice’s work (Ollerton, 2011; Ollerton and Horsfall, 2012), and the latter’s considerable capacity to elucidate complex theory in an accessible yet uncompromising way had struck a chord. Janice’s radical participatory methodologies and practices went way beyond the usual rhetoric of the “inclusion” of people with different intellectual abilities (i.e. different from the norms and standards of cognitive ability prescribed by the dominant scientific and professional discourses governing modern human subjects). This resonated with Sheridan’s enquiry into power and resistance in therapy discourse and practice.
