“…This concept of using art to situate the family within a cultural and historical context is less developed in both family art therapy and social work literature. This connection is particularly relevant for family social workers who aim to understand the family within the ecological circles of their social reality (Huss, 2015a; Malka et al, 2017).…”

Genograms are widely used in family therapy as a way of visually mapping out systems and recurring family patterns. Creative genograms enable families to phenomenologically self-define recurring themes and issues, thus combining both historical, but also, experiential data on the same page. This participatory research gathers the self-defined, phenomenological experience of family social workers who experienced creative genograms firstly on themselves and then administered it with their clients: Examples are analyzed within the text. The findings point to the usefulness of including creative genograms in family social work contexts to intensify information, engagement, and stimulation and to re-perceive calcified problems through new visual terms. Challenges were the unfamiliarity of art language and fear of being “diagnosed” through art. Ways to overcome these challenges and to utilize the benefits were discussed. A theoretical understanding of social versus psychological art is outlined. The specific tool of the creative genogram enabled us not only to provide a clear directive tool for family social workers but also to demonstrate the ways that social art corresponds to and can enhance the aims of family social workers in more detail.

“…As a community-based participatory action research methodology, the photovoice method developed by Wang and Burris (1997) allows participants to identify and represent important issues through discussion of photographs, helping their voice reach policymakers. Given the benefits of using the photovoice methodology with individuals with addiction problems, photovoice was previously used with children of parents with addiction problems (Malka et al, 2018) and adolescents at risk of internet gaming addiction (Seok et al, 2018) in South Korea, as well as adults with alcohol dependence (Shortt et al, 2017) or people who use drugs (Padilla et al, 2019) in the United States. However, experiences of adults in the recovery process from problematic gambling using their own voice have not been understood.…”

Using Photovoice With Male Problematic Gamblers to Understand Their Lived Story on the Path to Recovery in South Korea

Illegal gambling has significantly affected individuals’ lives in South Korea, and it is difficult for problematic gamblers to recover despite the decreasing rate of problematic gambling. This study used photovoice to explore the life experiences and desires of seven male problematic gamblers in a rehabilitation center during their path to recovery in South Korea. Photovoice consisted of six sessions involving orientation, photo-taking and group discussions of photographs, and sharing of outcomes. Twelve subthemes emerged within four main themes predetermined by the participants: (a) my life after gambling, (b) what I have lost from gambling, (c) what would help my recovery, and (d) picturing myself recovered in the near future. Participants’ lives had completely changed after they started gambling; particularly, their personality had been negatively affected and their life became filled with mental suffering. Their financial well-being was compromised, their health worsened, and they lost the trust of other people and a sense of purpose in their lives. Despite these challenges, they made tremendous efforts to recover from gambling and pictured a recovered future. The lived narratives provide evidence that recovery from gambling problems is a long journey including recognition of the problem and development of personal strategies that are perceived as beneficial for their recovery and strengthening their motivation for change.

“…The second thread relates to community-based research, personified particularly in photovoice initiatives, that often focus on marginalized populations, grounded in emancipatory discourses (Guillemin & Drew, 2010;Malka, Huss, Bendarker, & Musai, 2018;Mitchell, Linds, Denov, D'Amico, & Cleary, 2019). We are concerned with issues of equity and reciprocity but are also wary of claims to represent the voices of others (Loutzenheiser, 2007) and overstating the relations we can build in short-term interventions such as ours.…”

Research that ‘grows apart’ from its original design and proposal is not uncommon, especially when involving participatory and creative methods. However, the disconnect between research intentions and research realization is seldom probed for the insights offered; this paper addresses this gap. Taking up the conceptual lens of research imaginaries, this paper dives into the tensions and discoveries experienced in between the design and the practice of a multi-site participatory research project. The study involved two groups of young people, in two cities in two countries, with a focus on digital lives. In a commitment to collaboration with artists, senior researchers, research assistants, and young people in community spaces, a complex project emerged. This paper describes the tensions and possibilities of an emergent methodology and in doing so argues for increased attention to the movement of research designs; rather than the adherence to them.
