Paperback. This book showcases innovative approaches to research for systemic and relationally reflexive practitioners. In conducting research we need to get alongside people in a disenfranchised world and find out their truths, our truths and collaborate to make the world a better, safer place? Internationally acclaimed contributors propose innovative research methodologies which promote sensitivity, creativity and political awareness to use everyday practice as powerful and transformative research practices. The chapters offer practical and theoretical help in forging connections between relationally sensitive practice, reflexive inquiry and the wider field of post-positivist qualitative inquiry. Reflexivity weaves systemic social constructionist, collaborative dialogical and narrative practices in the fields of therapy, consultation, teaching, supervision, leadership, organisational development, community work and activism.Mary Gergen - ForewordPart 1 - Systemic Methodology- Gail Simon - Systemic Inquiry as a form of Qualitative Inquiry- Alex Chard - Orientations: Systemic Approaches to Researching Practice- Harlene Anderson - Collaborative-Dialogue Based Research as Everyday Practice: Questioning our Myths- Sheila McNamee - Research as Relational Practice.

About the Author
Alex Chard:
In the early part of my career I worked within the voluntary and statutory sectors with young people in trouble. I then began to work independently. I work as a systemic organisational consultant, a role which includes inquiry into organisational functioning, culture and practice. Over 23 , my consultancy practice has included public sector contexts including work within children’s social care, education, youth work, criminal justice and within the voluntary sector. My experience of assisting organisations manage change has included working with statutory boards, with management teams helping them to improve their services and on occasion managing services or critical projects. My current organisational inquiry and research contexts include conducting inter-agency case reviews where significant harm has been caused and in that context developing reflexive approaches to creating pan-organisational learning. My MSc. dissertation was a systemic inquiry into the impact of government inspection on the management of a service. My doctoral thesis The Art of Organisational Development was on creating systemic change and development in public sector management. I am also a visiting senior lecturer to the Professional Doctorate in Systemic Practice at the University of Bedfordshire and have developed a systemic module for a Social Work Masters Programme.
