Abstract: With increasing calls for evidence-based practice within the discipline of psychology in South Africa alongside the now established value of qualitative methodologies, qualitative research that is both relevant and methodologically sound is of vital importance. Internationally, the recognition of the need for criteria with which to evaluate qualitative research has generated a number of useful and important guidelines. Integrating these already existing guidelines, this article outlines four key concepts useful in pursuing quality in qualitative research: coherence, reflexivity, rigour and richness. To thicken these concepts, I use analogies and draw on ex les from my own research. The article is aimed at teachers, consumers, reviewers and producers of qualitative research within psychology in South Africa with the purpose of fostering a particular attitude towards quality markers as foundational rather than additional to qualitative research.

Abstract: This article conducts a secondary analysis of combined survey data collected from clinical and counselling psychologists in South Africa with a view to contributing to the debate about their respective Scope of Practice. A comparison of clinical and counselling psychologists’ activities, where and how they are doing these activities and with what emphasis, as well as the similarities and differences between these categories with respect to demographic variables of their practitioners, values and career satisfaction, and views of their respective Scopes of Practice should provide guidance for the future regulation of both categories. In total, 1105 participants’ (comprising 877 registered clinical psychologists and 228 registered counselling psychologists) survey responses were analysed. Findings suggest that counselling and clinical psychologists are more similar than they are different, with responses indicating shared demographic characteristics, areas of overlap in terms of their key activities and theoretical orientations, and their satisfaction with their training and careers. Significant differences, where they did occur, included the race and gender of practitioners time spent on assessment and research emphasis on psychodynamic orientations endorsement of values views on the Scopes of Practice regulations that were promulgated in 2011 and in each specialties sense of distinctiveness. Findings are discussed in the context of vigorous contestation over the Scopes of Practice in South Africa, where access to mental health services remains poor and the profession largely untransformed.

Abstract: Psychoanalysis has become increasingly concerned with issues of race and class and the ways in which they play themselves out in the therapy room. Alongside other psychosocial scholars concerned with the interleaving of the self and other, the psychological and the social, I argue that psychoanalysis is a valuable resource, particularly, as demonstrated in this article, for thinking through how we might theorize and “read” race and class in interview contexts when conducting qualitative research. Interview moments between myself, the researcher—a White, middle-class, educated, South African woman—and the researched—Black, working-class, lesser educated, South African men—are subjected to a psychosocial reading drawing specifically on Lacanian psychoanalysis which emphasizes a critical, tentative approach that aims to disrupt understanding.

Abstract: This article offers a psychosocial analysis of interview material from a larger study on ‘brothering’, making an empirically grounded contribution to what are frequently abstract debates on the use of psychoanalysis to ‘read’ narratives. Recent psychosocial approaches which employ psychoanalysis alongside discursive psychology are reviewed, including a Lacanian approach which has been described as a less certain and potentially less in idualizing and pathologizing gaze to take up in psychosocial studies. The authors put forward the notion of concentric reflexivity to apply Lacanian theoretical concepts to narrative material, ‘troubling’ sense-making, alongside recent calls for psychoanalysis to be employed in psychosocial work as a tool for ‘disintegrating’ and ‘disrupting’ text. The discussion argues for the interruptedness of narrative as an ethical necessity and for acknowledging fragmentation as central to the construction of an ethical subject.
