‘What Was I Thinking?!’ Rhetorical Questions as a Technique to Identify and Explore Impasses in Therapy

Rhetorical questions emerging spontaneously in consultations can be used as a tool for developing self‐reflexivity and exploring the therapeutic alliance in the process of therapy with couples and families. This paper presents a technique based on the enunciation of rhetorical questions, which can point to an impasse in the process of therapy and contain a key to its resolution. The technique focuses on the distinctive feature of rhetorical questions as convening a paradoxical injunction: a question not intended as a question, while uttered as such. The technique in four steps is illustrated by examples from therapy, supervision, consultation, and self‐supervision. Its focus is the interlink between the therapeutic relationship and the process of therapy and it is informed by a second‐order cybernetics approach, dialogical practice, and the systemic literature on emotion. The technique can help develop curiosity in working with families, lead to unforeseen developments, and touch on prejudices not made explicit in previous therapeutic encounters. Whether we are acting as supervisors, therapists, or clients, the creation of a ‘secure enough’ context for rhetorical questions becomes critical to allow freeform exploration.     

试论日本的政党监督

二战之后,日本按照西方民主制度的模式,确定了民主国家体制,实行多党制度。然而自1955年起,自民党长期居于执政地位,一党居优制一直成为日本主要的政党格局。2009年新民主党一跃而成为执政党,自民党一党长期执政格局改变,日本政坛进入民主党和自民党两大政党相互制衡、彼此竞争时代。日本式的政党政治生态,使日本的政党监督也显现出自身的面貌与特点。     

Creative Solutions and Development for Social Workers Treating People with Serious Mental Illness - Contributions from Supervision

Social workers who are engaged in a therapeutic work with clients who have serious mental illness often face specific challenges and find themselves in crisis states in therapy, which stem from the return of the clients’ symptoms and their cognitive impairments as well as social stigma. These crisis states cause dramatic changes in the way social workers mentalize their clients and they are propelled to draw from covert, unformulated, and dissociated knowledge that they have about the client’s experience, which contributes to achieving new, surprising, and creative ways to mentalize the client. Such crisis resolutions enhance therapists’ personal and professional development and serve as an identification model for their clients.

论我国专门宪法监督机构建立的模式及路径

全国人大作为我国宪法监督主体存在着许多问题，主要表现在：全国人大并非专任宪法监督机关，全国人大的监督缺乏经常性，全国人大成为宪法监督的盲点。建立专门宪法监督机构——宪法监督委员会应成为今后进一步改革和完善我国宪法监督制度的必然选择。宪法监督委员会应首先在全国人大内部设置，等条件成熟时再将其从全国人大中独立出来设置。最后要注意处理好宪法监督委员会与执政党的关系。

论行政执法的新闻媒体监控

行政机关是代表国家行使行政权力的机关,其在行使权力过程中必须受到全方位的监控才能保证权力行使的正当性。这种监控既有来自行政系统内部的监控,也有来自行政系统外部的监控。新闻媒体监控属于行政执法的外部监控形式之一。新闻媒体监控包括对行政机关的行政决策进行监控和对行政执法过程进行监控,侧重于对行政执法过程的监控。这种监控目前尚存在诸多问题,需要从立法、政务公开、优化新闻监督环境和提高新闻媒体工作人员的职业素质等方面加以完善。
