- Title
JOINING FOR CHANGE: AN INTERVENTION OF STATE CHANGE OR AN INTERACTION OF UNFORESEEN CONSEQUENCES?
- Authors
Gale, Jerry
- Abstract
This article is in response to Laurie Charlés' (this issue) research article on hostage negotiation. It is suggested that her article provides an opportunity for family therapists to reexamine our own taken-for-granted clinical practices, particularly the practice of joining to achieve rapport. Rapport is considered from the two perspectives of either being an experience of the individual (state trait) or as a dynamic process that is relationally accomplished with unpredictable consequences for both participants. Implications for practice and training are presented.
