“…Many students are predominantly taught "empirically supported therapies," and so the words that populate their assignments and exams trace the topographies delimited by these approaches. Many practitioners can only provide their clients with government subsidies if they demonstrate that they provide "focused psychological strategies," and so regardless of what their actual practice involves, their writing about their work (e.g., in case notes and correspondence with other professionals) is drawn towards the dialects of standardised measures, diagnostic frameworks, and practice manuals (Bueskens, 2014). Those who share their words in academic forums feel the pressure, too; the narrowing in breadth of what it feels possible to write about, the thinning of narratives, the risk in asking questions that resist articulation.…”

What we write about when we write about psychotherapy and counselling pacja.org.au/2019/09/editorial-what-we-write-about-when-we-write-about-psychotherapy-and-counselling Return to Journal Articles Rhys Price-Robertson, PhD, PACJA EditorThis journal is a forum for people to share their writing on psychotherapy and counselling. To enter this forum, writing must meet certain criteria. There are the explicit criteria of academic style and prose (e.g., word count, referencing style, line spacing). And then there are the largely implicit criteria; the assumptions we share, as a community of practitioners, about the topics that are pertinent for us explore, the questions that are meaningful for us to ask, and the forms of knowledge that best guide our work. While the explicit criteria are provided on this journal's website, it tends to be shared assumptions that most powerfully shape the contributions that appear in this journal, and, more generally, the written voices we assume as professionals.

“…I think of myself as a feminist and “autonomous” mother. Coined by Petra Bueskens, the term refers to “world-making women, releasing maternal subjectivity, vision and politics into the world” (Bueskens, 2021, p. 13). In this article, through my own experience, I shall argue that the struggle to find or invent one's own autonomy, or “blend” of negotiation, radicalism, rebellion and courage requires not only mental and emotional labor but also a new form of managerial labor rooted in knowledge work and service economy.…”

PurposeThis article tackles the intersection of mothering and labor through the author's own experience as a feminist mother/manager from Istanbul, Turkey. It aims to revisit the first years of motherhood, exploring the struggle to invent a peculiar maternal subjectivity in opposition and negotiation with the patriarchal institution of motherhood, the new definition of maternal labor in a highly digital, neoliberal context and the issue of marital fairness in a dual-income heterosexual marriage.Design/methodology/approachThe article presents an autoethnographic, retrospective and introspective inquiry into the first seven years of the author's mothering experience in order to offer an in-depth exploration of the various aspects of contemporary maternal labor.FindingsThe article shows how maternal labor has shifted in nature and expanded in scope in a contemporary non-Western context. It investigates the dissolution of the spatial, temporal and sensorial boundaries between the managerial labor dedicated to the workplace, and to the family. Highlighting the similarities of the two forms of labor, the article manifests the materiality, tangibility and visibility of maternal labor.Research limitations/implicationsFurther intersectional studies shall be beneficial to redefine maternal labor in different contexts.Practical implicationsDeparting and diverting from the terms “invisible labor” and “mental load”, the article suggests a shift in terminology to stress the multifaceted medley of managerial tasks mothers undertake today.Originality/valueThe article provides an original take on maternal labor through the first-hand experience of a middle-class, professional mother from Istanbul, Turkey.

Nitel araştırma verilerine dayanan bu makale, yetişkin kızların anneleriyle kurdukları bağın cinsiyetlendirilme sürecini ve kişiliklerini nasıl etkilediği, biçimlendirdiği sorusuna cevap aramaktadır. Nitel araştırma kapsamında anneleri hayatta olan sekiz kadın ile yüz yüze ve e-posta aracılığıyla görüşmeler gerçekleştirilmiştir. Anne ve yetişkin kızları arasındaki bağa dair bulgular, benlik gelişimine ve bununla bağlantılı olarak da patriyarkal cinsiyetlendirilme sürecine odaklanan feminist nesne ilişkileri teorisine başvurularak analiz edilmiş ve yorumlanmıştır. Anneyle kurulan ilişki, cinsiyetlendirme süreci ve içselleştirilen toplumsal cinsiyet rolleri açısından ve annelerin kızlarının hayatlarının farklı aşamalarındaki rolü, kızların diğer kişilerle kurduğu ilişkilere etkisi bakımından incelenmiştir. Genel olarak katılımcıları annesiyle çatışmalı ve uzlaşıya dayalı ilişkiler yaşayan yetişkin kız çocukları olarak kategorize etmek mümkündür. Anneden ayrılmanın, bağımsızlaşmanın sorun olarak ön plana çıktığı çatışmalı ilişkilerde kızlar anneleriyle olan bağlarına itiraz etmeyerek, bağdan uzaklaşmaya çalışarak veya bağı değiştirmeye çalışarak kendilerini olumsuz etkileyen ilişkileriyle baş etmeye çalışmaktadır. Görece uzlaşıya dayalı ilişkilerde ise anne ve yetişkin kız çocuğu daha az müdahalenin olduğu ve tarafların birbirinin bağımsız varlığını kısmen de olsa tanıdığı ilişkiler kurabilmektedir. Benlik gelişimi için ayrılmayı ve bireyselleşmeyi yücelten eril değerler ve toplumsal ilişkiler, farklı ilişkilenme biçimlerini, örneğin bağlılık ve karşılıklılığı bağımlılığa hapsederek anneler ve kızlar arasında birbirilerinin varlıklarını tanıyan, dayanışmacı bir ilişkiye izin vermemektedir.
