Speaking about the inevitable. Listening to the unnameable
An edition connected to the voice archive and its research framework
“Every dialogue, every conversation, is possible only if the person speaking and the person listening, the person giving care and the person receiving it, understand one another through the open reciprocity of their language and horizons of meaning”
Eugenio Borgna, Gentle Listening
Open Dialogues is a choral project of voices that places listening at the centre of accompaniment, care and consolation.
Through a series of interviews, Open Dialogues creates spaces of encounter in which to share, reflect on and question the relationships between scientific thought, clinical practice and human experiences related to mental health, death, suicide, euthanasia, bioethics and other ethical and philosophical questions that inevitably shape and traverse our lives.
The interviews are published in full; they have only been transcribed, edited and translated to make them easier to read.
“Dialogue is a prerequisite for positive change in any form of therapy”
Jaakko Seikkula and David Trimble
