Abstract:

This article discusses a method of using elements of Jaakko Seikkula's `polyphonic dialogue' approach in the context of trainee evaluation at a four-year course in systemic family therapy. The method attempts to shift the emphasis from feedback and `monologue' to reflexivity, dialogue and polyphony, thus aiming at promoting reflexive, dialogic and collaborative practices in training.
