Bracketing
“It is a capital mistake to theorize before
one has data. Insensibly one begins to
twist facts to suit theories, instead of
theories to suit facts”
Martin Heidegger
Intentionality

Descriptive
‘The Things themselves’
‘That which shows itself’
What happened? Why did it happen?
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Hermeneutics
Hans-Georg Gadamer
The role of hermeneutics is,
“not to develop a procedure of understanding,
but to clarify the conditions in which
understanding takes place. But these conditions
do not amount to a “procedure” or method which
the interpreter must of himself bring to bear on
the text; rather, they must be given”
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Prejudicial Thoughts
“Twenty-five years of experience tells me that … with this bed
business … any problem that happens in bed is … the crack in
the ceiling, and where the bed is, and the view you have from
where your head is on the pillow, looking out into the room (no
matter how dark it is you can still see the room, you know it’s
there) … and that is part of the context in which her problem
happens …”
Coming Through The Ceiling.
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Prejudicial Thoughts While remaining ‘text-focused’, allows
the interpreter to utilise the fore-sights
he or she brings to the endeavour in a
restrained and scientific manner
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Prejudicial Thoughts
Hermeneutic Circle
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Prejudicial Thoughts
Hermeneutic Circle The iterative co-construction of
solutions, moving from the grand to
the minute … and back again.
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Prejudicial Thoughts
Hermeneutic Circle
Fusion of Horizons
Hans-Georg Gadamer
Prejudicial Thoughts
Hermeneutic Circle
Fusion of Horizons The forming, and testing, of a
shared understanding.
In short, our view holds that clients already know what to do to solve the
complaints they bring to therapy; they just do not know that they know. Our
job, as brief therapists, is to help them construct for themselves a new use
for knowledge they already have.
(De Shazer et al, 1986. p.220)
Hermeneutic Shift
Client
Problem
Therapist
“How did you come to have this problem?”
Hermeneutic Shift
Being
“What would you rather be doing?”
Solution Focused Research
• What is the Research Question?
• How will you know when you’ve answered it?
• How will other people know when you’ve answered it?
• Are any parts of that happening already?
• On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 stands for when you’ve
fully answered the Research Question …
– where are you now?
– how did you get to this point?
– what will tell you that you’ve moved one point further up the
scale?
Thank you.

  • 11. Hans-Georg Gadamer The role of hermeneutics is, “not to develop a procedure of understanding, but to clarify the conditions in which understanding takes place. But these conditions do not amount to a “procedure” or method which the interpreter must of himself bring to bear on the text; rather, they must be given”
  • 13. “Twenty-five years of experience tells me that … with this bed business … any problem that happens in bed is … the crack in the ceiling, and where the bed is, and the view you have from where your head is on the pillow, looking out into the room (no matter how dark it is you can still see the room, you know it’s there) … and that is part of the context in which her problem happens …” Coming Through The Ceiling.

  • 18. Hans-Georg Gadamer Prejudicial Thoughts Hermeneutic Circle Fusion of Horizons The forming, and testing, of a shared understanding. In short, our view holds that clients already know what to do to solve the complaints they bring to therapy; they just do not know that they know. Our job, as brief therapists, is to help them construct for themselves a new use for knowledge they already have. (De Shazer et al, 1986. p.220)

Solution Focused Research • What is the Research Question? • How will you know when you’ve answered it? • How will other people know when you’ve answered it? • Are any parts of that happening already? • On a scale of 0 to 10, where 10 stands for when you’ve fully answered the Research Question … – where are you now? – how did you get to this point? – what will tell you that you’ve moved one point further up the scale?
