The content of this text will detail my reflections on my journey to qualify as a systemic psychotherapist and will pay specific attention to my migrant identity in my development as a systemic psychotherapist. First-person action research is a self-reflective practice that is grounded in a social constructivist paradigm by virtue of the latter making the relationship with the locus of knowledge as opposed to the individual (Gergen, 1994) and thus first-person action research provides a site for the researcher to investigate the therapeutic encounter from their own perspective.

However, human-made disasters seem to leave more indelible marks on the affected societies. This is perhaps because human-made disasters affect not just lives, livelihoods and ways of life; they also impact on human dignity. Today, acts of collective violence such as genocide, ethnocide and massacres have become hot topics of debates regarding International Law and Human Right’s violations . Survivors continue to suffer from the consequences of pressure and stereotyping for decades after. Further, there is strong evidence to suggest that trauma can be transmitted to later generations. This paper, the first part of an ongoing a PhD thesis, examines the intergenerational transmission of trauma due to collective violence. Specifically, the 1937-8 Dersim Massacre resulted in not just tens of thousands of deaths and thousands of people internally displaced by government forces, but also in a lost generation of children. Ten semi-structured interviews were conducted with 2nd and 3rd generation survivors of the 1937-8 Dersim massacre living in Tunceli (Dersim). Key themes that emerged were the transmission of trauma to later generations through both overexposure to ancestral trauma and a conspiracy of silence.

Method: The lead researcher (a qualified interpreter and counsellor) joined 32 group sessions as a participant observer, and 12 individual sessions as an observer. Additional data sources were 30 semi-structured interviews with counsellors, clients and interpreters, and two halfday forums organised for community interpreters to discuss their concerns. Results: The positive value of engaging non-professional interpreters is highlighted within the specific context of non-medical, community-based, holistic counselling. In this context, formal accuracy of translation is less important than empathy and trust. Non-professional interpreters may be more likely than professionals to share clients’ life experiences, and working with them in counselling has positive psychosocial value for all participants. This is because it entails inclusive, non-hierarc...

Current psychotherapy practices are evolving to accommodate non-traditional, non-determinist and non-oppressive new terminologies to work with a gender pluralistic worldview. The ontological and epistemological shift from positivist approach to therapeutic issues to post-structuralist shift brought language afore as the site of power and meaning. Family and systemic psychotherapy is a particular cohort in the world of psychotherapy that operates with a social constructivist, deconstructive and post-structuralist epistemology. Distanced from pre-determined notions of pathology and well-being family and systemic psychotherapists work with power and knowledge using the language as site that power and knowledge is both used and produced to introduce systemic changes.
