Methodological Approaches

In an exploratory case study of partnerships between educators and refugee families recently resettled in the U.S, we conducted follow-up interviews with each of the ten participating families during year one. In this paper, we report on themes from these interviews highlighted in three family case studies. We used methodological approaches that enabled us to reenvision and interrogate the power structure inherent in research relationships between ‘researcher’ and ‘researched.” The purposes of the additional interview were to conduct a member check on the data we had gathered, understand what had changed since our initial interview with the family, and gather families’ feedback about our comportment and methods. The two-part question was, How might decolonizing methods from a postcolonial lens serve as guideposts for disrupting research methods with families with refugee backgrounds?, and How did partnering with transnational student researchers inform ways of representing the family narratives? The follow-up narratives suggest a complex understanding of building knowledge within the limitations of a conventional research paradigm.

Abstract This paper presents data from a longitudinal study of Vietnamese refugee families acquiring Australian-English. Specifically, the paper is concerned with Vietnamese acquiring proficiency with vowels. It documents the progress made by four members of a Vietnamese family across their first year in the country, reporting on two areas of production known to be difficult for Vietnamese: the long-short vowel distinctions, and diphthongs before a final consonant. It also reports on the subjects’ discrimination of the monophthongal vowels of Australian-English. It is shown that, for this family, the long-short distinctions are particularly problematic in terms of both production and discrimination. The report is presented as a family case study. Psycho-social factors influencing the development of the four family members are discussed. It is stressed that we as teachers and researchers need to be aware of these factors, particularly those relating to the family – the most important social unit in Vietnamese culture.

Emotional Conflicts

The purpose of this study is to introduce a successful combination of transactional analysis therapy and hypnotherapy in the treatment of clients with emotional conflicts. The client was a 38-year-old woman who had visited a clinic due to family conflicts with her husband. Following the first stage of therapy, the family conflicts were resolved by problem focus therapy, so the client stopped the therapy. Yet she revisited the psychological clinic after three months. In the second six sessions, initially Transactional Analysis was used to solve the emotional conflicts. At the end of the sixth session, though, the therapist realized that some of the conflicts had remained unresolved. Therefore, the therapist decided to recreate the principles of transnational analysis indirectly through hypnotic trance and used this synthetic approach to act out emotionally and resolved the conflicts. In the follow-up sessions after the hypnotherapy, the client appeared stable and the therapist witnessed no disturbance in the client’s behaviors and emotions. The client’s emotional conflicts had been resolved.

Narrative Family Therapy

This article provides counselors with an introduction to the knowledge and skills involved in providing narrative family therapy (NFT). Following an overview of the theoretical foundations undergirding this therapeutic approach, a case study is used to illustrate the use of numerous NFT techniques. These techniques include eliciting stories to meet families apart from their problems, recognizing cultural discourse and its impact on family narratives, externalizing the problem from the family, and re-authoring the story through the identification and understanding of exceptions and unique outcomes and the identification and enactment of preferred narratives. The article concludes with recommendations for further development of competence in this area.

Background Kangaroo mother care (KMC) was introduced toIndonesia in the 1990s. Since then, KMC has not been widelyimplemented and has not received national policy support.Objective The objectives of this case study were to implementKMC by an intervention that would ultimately benefit tenhospitals in Java, Indonesia, as well as identify supporting factorsand barriers to KMC implementation.Methods An intervention with four phases was conducted inten hospitals. Two teaching hospitals were supported to serve astraining centers, six hospitals were supported to implement KMCand two other hospitals were supported to strengthen existingKMC practices. The four phases were comprised of a baselineassessment, a five-day training workshop, two supervisory visitsto each hospital, and an end-line assessment.Results A total of 344 low birth weight infants received KMCduring the intervention period. Good progress with regards toimplementation was observed in most hospitals between the firstand second supervisory visits. Supporting factors for KMC were thefollowing: support received from hospital management, positiveattitudes ofhealthcare providers, patients, families and communities,as well as the availability of resources. The most common challengeswere record keeping and data collection, human resources and staffissues, infrastructure and budgets, discharge and follow-up, as wellas family issues. Challenges related to the family were the inabilityof the mother or family to visit the infant frequently to provideKMC, and the affordability of hospital user fees for the infant tostay in the hospital for a sufficient period of rime.Conclusion KM C appeared to be well accepted in most hospitals.For an intervention to have maximum impact, it is importantto integrate services and maintain a complex network ofcommunication systems.

Family Case

Building on a long-term, multi-sited ethnographic research project, this article illustrates and interprets the transformation processes and empowerment strategies pursued by an originally Zazaki-speaking, multigenerational Alevi family in the Turkish-German transnational context. The family, which includes a number of Alevi priests (seyyid or dede), hails from the Dersim4 region of eastern Anatolia, and their family biography is closely bound up with a traumatic mass murder and crime against humanity that local people call “Dersim 38“ or “Tertele.“ Against the background of this tragedy, the family experienced internal migration (through forced remigration and settlement) thirty years before its labor migration to Germany. This family case study accordingly examines migration as a multi-faceted process with plural roots and routes. The migration of people from Turkey neither begins nor ends with labor migration to Germany. Instead, it involves the continuous, nonlinear, and multidirectional movement of human beings, despite national border regimes and politics. As a result, we can speak of migration processes that are at once voluntary and forced, internal and external, national and transnational. 5 In this particular case, the family members, even the pioneer generation labor migrants who have since become shuttle migrants, maintain close relationships with Dersim even as they spend most of their lives in a metropolitan German city. At the same time, they confront moments of everyday in- and exclusion in this transnational migration space that define them as both insiders and out- siders. Keeping these asymmetrical attributions in mind, I examine the family's sociocultural, religious, and political practices and resources from a transna- tional perspective, paying close attention to their conceptualization of identity and belonging as well as their empowerment strategies.

Family photographs are often used as a prop in a set-up of a family home in a film. Employing visual culture approach, I would argue that through the use of family portraits both in figurative and artefactual forms, the narrative about family is often unravelled, challenged and subsequently validated. A close textual analysis of three P. Ramlee’s films that mark the dawn of modernism in the immediate post-independence Malaya and the formation of Malaysia in 1963 as a case study, this paper asks the following questions: What types of narratives are created through the display of family portraits? How do these family portraits reflect the changing conceptions of the institution of the family especially pertaining to modern Malay masculinity? And, how do family photographs inform family narratives? The analysis finds that, on one hand, family portraits are used to narrate the exteriorization of masculinity in trouble by revealing its castration anxiety. On the other, they also point to “the hero journey archetype” that apotheosizes masculine dominance as proven by the films’ happy ending. The implication of this study lies in the way family photographs in films can be understood not merely as props, but in visual culture sense, as locating the source of the conflict of modern Malay masculinity in the family itself. Although family portraits in these films are meant to be innocuous to Malay masculinity in crisis, it is ideologically a folie de grandeur about the family and what it means for the nation in transition. Keywords: Family narratives, family photographs, malaysian films, visual culture, masculinity.
