Traveling with People into Unfinalizable Futures:
Internalized Other Questioning and Hauntings from the Future
with Kay Ingamells & David Epston (Auckland, New Zealand)
August 20, 2023 Collab Salon: 4:00 – 5:30 pm NY time
Many psychological versions of people or psychiatric versions of people were determinative. They foreclosed a future for them. Internalized Other Questioning and Haunting from the Future are two ways that I found to make people enigmatic or to use a more formal literary philosophical term of Bakhtin, unfinalizable. So the stories of their lives were yet to come or unfolding as they live their lives. And these two forms of inquiry were really constructed or invented to contradict the determinative or foreclosing ways of many professional inquiries. David Epston in conversation with Kay Ingamells, July 6, 2022.
Our new series, Where the Buses Don’t Run Yet, is constructed around edited conversations between David Epston and Kay Ingamells. This Collab focuses on two imaginative practices covered in these courses: Internalized Other Interviewing and Hauntings from the Future. Illustrating with training interviews, David takes advantage of pedagogical circumstances to demonstrate using the future as a playground in narrative conversations.
Learning Objectives
The program supported me to:
1. Articulate benefits for positioning the future as a playground in narrative conversations.
2. Learn how a haunting from the future can bring forth unfinalizable possibilities to what previously seemed finalized.
3. Understand the Internalized Other Interview as a pedagogical approach to learning narrative interviewing practices.
