How is meaning constructed discursively by participants in problem
discourse? To which discursive resources do they resort in order to
accomplish their complicated tasks of problem presentation and
negotiation of possible solutions? To what extent are these
resources related to the interactional and meaningful construction
of problems and solutions? Irit Kupferberg and David Green- a
discourse analyst and a clinical psychologist- have explored
naturally-occurring media, hotline, and cyber troubled discourse in
a quest for answers. Inspired by a constructivist-interpretive
theoretical framework grounded in linguistic anthropology,
conversation analysis, narrative inquiry, and clinical psychology
as well as their professional experience, the authors put forward
three novel claims that are illustrated by 70 attention-holding
examples. First, sufferers often present their troubles through
detailed narrative discourse as well as succinct story-internal
tropes such as metaphors and similes- discursive resources that
constitute two interrelated versions of the troubled self.
Particularly interesting are the intriguing figurative
constructions produced in acute emotional states or at crucial
discursive junctions. Second, such figurative constructions often
'lubricate' the interactive negotiation of solutions. Third, when
the figurative and narrative resources of self-construction are
employed in the public arena they are used and sometimes abused by
the media representatives, depending on a plethora of contextual
resources identified in this book.
