- Title
Intimate (Dis)connections: Research, Therapy, and “Real” Life.
- Authors
Wyatt, Jonathan; Tamas, Sophie
- Abstract
One nuanced argument threaded through the articles in this special issue is that in both therapy and qualitative inquiry there is the possibility—and risk—that testimony will bring “connection.” Such connection might be with others, with oneself, and/or with meaning. Connection often appears as the good that we pursue in research that cannot produce objective truth and therapies that cannot promise healing. But what is connection, and what does it do? Our article responds to this collection by reflecting on questions about connection: How do we understand and experience it? Is connection love? And what does the prospect of connection imply for our practice as socially engaged, somewhat ethical scholars, therapists, and human beings?
