“…In my deliberately distressed defense of the qualitative research, I do not intend to deny its anecdotal character, but to celebrate it. I will do this by proposing the reflections of Michael Quinn Patton collected in the fourth (and, so far, the last) edition of his manual Qualitative Research & Evaluation Methods (10) . Patton's thesis, which I make mine, is that an individual event, a small thing upon which one decides to focus attention may be particularly eloquent, may shed light to a set of extremely deep and widespread cultural traits.…”

“…Coherently to the theoretical background, a qualitative approach has been considered for understanding the complexity of the experiences provided by the participants, limiting the risk of reducing them to quantitative categories. The research here is understood as a relational, collaborative practice and dialogical process [73][74][75], and the object of analysis is considered co-constructed by the researchers and the interlocutors [72].…”

Nowadays the phenomenon of hearing voices represents a very fertile and discussed field of research. In psychological and psychiatric fields, the phenomenon has been described as a normal phenomenon, but also as a prodromal stage and as a symptom of psychosis. Through a qualitative research methodology, the aim was to explore how family medicine physicians configure the phenomenon and its clinical and interactive implications. The present research involved 35 family medicine physicians as figures of primary importance in the approach toward people who start to hear voices. Semi-structured interviews have been used and they have been analyzed by the method of discourse analysis. The results show a remarkable difficulty in understanding the phenomenon in all its complexity and the tendency to consider it a symptom or a prodromal stage of psychopathology. Increasing the knowledge of doctors on the subject is necessary so that their evaluation and choice of intervention match the needs of each patient. We also discuss the importance of promoting the knowledge of the potential meanings taken on by the voices in the context of the personal and family background of the individual hearer, and of collaboration with other relevant professionals and services.

“…The conditions were therefore lacking to analyse the way in which the word “psychotherapy” or “psychotherapeutic” had been used within the discourse. We therefore opted for the template analysis (King, 1998 ; Brooks & King, 2012 ), which combines two classical approaches: content analysis, which is theory-driven, and grounded theory, which is data-driven (Cardano, 2011 ). King’s methodology proposes the preliminary identification of “containers” in which to enter data, established on the basis of what the researcher expects to be relevant in a certain discourse and/or in reference to the literature on the subject.…”

In recent years, the use of the adjective “therapeutic” has expanded to encompass a great variety of experiences, blurring the line between what is effectively therapeutic and what is not. Proceeding from the idea that a word’s meaning is linked to its use in a particular linguistic game, we will analyse the etymons “therapy” and “psychotherapy” and the change in their meanings over time. This background will guide us in the qualitative analysis of the so-called “therapeutic activities” available on the websites of 14 Italian therapeutic communities for treating addiction. Four main master narratives emerge from our investigation. These are characterised by biomedical assumptions, pedagogical principles, religious precepts, and moral values, respectively. Activities are considered therapeutic per se rather than based on theoretical assumptions regarding change. In the light of our results, the adjective “therapeutic” has become a domain of common sense, which poses the threat of undue reification of the linguistic game that expresses it.
