“…As a researcher and former peacekeeper and chaplain I wanted to challenge myself to grasp these almost silent voices in order to benefit this study. Rogers et al (1999) opened the analytical perspective towards identifying ways of expressing things that are hard to talk about. The analysis of the language discourse is important because of how language is used to express such things as the process of remembering, uncertainty and the process of imagining, identifying and selecting.…”

“…Without that knowledge, the study showed that silences around their parents' deaths continued to haunt children into adolescence and adulthood. Even as children grow up and gain some distance from the event, they continue to fear raising the subject with relatives, who also prefer to linger at the edge of conscious knowledge rather than speak the unspeakable (Rogers et al, 1999).…”

Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork with Ugandan children affected by AIDS conducted from 2007 to 2014, this report summarizes findings of a study conducted to better understand the ways children experience orphanhood at the hands of HIV/AIDS. Three crucial, interrelated concepts emerged: suffering, silence, and status. This study explored the social context of AIDS orphanhood as both a cause of social suffering and a context for the suffering of individual children. Though problematic, silence about suffering is often due to continuing HIV/AIDS stigma in Uganda that makes one's status unspeakable, in spite of the adverse effect this has on the social order and efforts to eradicate the disease. Approaching silence as a distinct form of communication rather than an absence of it, the report considers silence's intergenerational functions, its detriments, and its consolations, in the context of HIV/AIDS-affected children's lives. In doing so, it also highlights the need for more child-centered, qualitative research on AIDS' psychosocial effects on children, despite the challenges of doing such research.

“…In still another and specifically therapeutic way, being positioned between a time-space of life dependent on drugs and alcohol and one free from this dependency may also facilitate what a number of researchers have defined using various terms as the prime goal of the therapeutic process: the opening of space for telling of silent stories (Seltzer, 1985a(Seltzer, , 1985bb, 2003, and for voicing the not-yet-told (Rober, 2002), the not-yet-said (Anderson and Goolishian, 1988), and the unsaid, unsayable, and unspeakable (Rogers et al, 1999).…”

This article begins with an ethnographic account of a rite of passage involving a newcomer to a therapeutic community of persons suffering from alcohol and drug addiction in rural Hungary. Following a brief commentary about substance abuse and treatment in the social context of Hungarian society, the ceremony is analyzed in a framework using concepts drawn from anthropological science, narrative theory, and family therapy. This is supplemented by material drawn from interviews with graduates of the community's treatment program including the subject of this ritual 3 years after its performance. The article concludes with a brief discussion of possible contributions blended theoretical perspectives on rituals can make to our understanding of the structure and dynamics of the therapeutic work in similar communities treating women and men suffering from substance abuse.
