Title: | If you knew the end of a story would you still want to hear it? Using research poems to listen to Aboriginal stories | Contributor(s): | Saunders, Vicki (author); Usher, Kim (author) ; Tsey, Komla (author); Bainbridge, Roxanne (author) | Publication Date: | 2016 | DOI: | 10.1080/08893675.2016.1133082 | Handle Link: | https://hdl.handle.net/1959.11/18758 | Abstract: | This paper presents a poem created whilst conducting an inquiry into one of the endings of stories told of, and by, people living with mental illness: this story ending is grouped by a word (and social movement) widely known as Recovery in mental health care. Recovery, however, is not a word commonly used in the places where this Inquiry occurred. Nor is it a category of story ending often told about Australian Aboriginal people living with a diagnosis of chronic mental illness. This inquiry was, and is, thus focussed on how the current endings of stories that surround Australian Aboriginal peoples in mental health care are being/ were told and "heard". This paper is an attempt to use poetry as a therapeutic and storytelling strategy to highlight the difference between hearing and listening, and how that difference relates to the word Recovery as a paradigm shift and story of social change. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Journal of Poetry Therapy, 29(1), p. 1-13 | Publisher: | Routledge | Place of Publication: | United Kingdom | ISSN: | 1567-2344 0889-3675 |
