Intro
Collaborative language systems, often known as collaborative therapy, are a postmodern approach to communication and language. The collaborative language therapist believes that our perspectives of reality are formed by how we interact with others.
Slide 1
Harlene Anderson and Harry Goolishian created the collaborative language systems approach. Anderson and Goolishian felt that the client was the creator of their narrative and that they had the ability to modify the ending. A collaborative therapist assists the client in deconstructing their story, allowing new stories to emerge. The theorist also believed that problems are maintained by language and dialogue.
Slide 2
In collaborative language systems, clients are viewed as instructors, whilst therapists are regarded as learners. This therapeutic model has no hierarchical position; instead, the therapist and client have a mutual connection.
In collaborative language systems, the therapist should/should be:
Nonjudgmental
Ask relevant questions
Listen deeply
Ensure that they understand the situation clearly

Provide a safe space
Philosophical stance: Anderson and Goolishian believe that the therapist and client are collaborators in a shared dilemma. When they collaborate, they give the issue new meaning.
Slide 3
Anderson and Goolishian describe Collaborative Language Systems as a philosophical perspective rather than a treatment strategy. They argue that language produces meaning, which implies that it also maintains problems. As a result, potential solutions can be designed using a shift in language. In this method of thinking, the therapist and the client are both collaborators in a joint exploration. They create or co-create new meaning through language to create a new way of discovering solutions. Because they assume the stance of not knowing a client's experience, collaborative therapists avoid labeling, diagnosing, or offering directives.
Slide 4
As part of their therapeutic approach, collaborative therapists do not follow a set of stages
or create interventions. Instead, they retain a collaborative mindset based on a number of concepts that govern how they approach their clients and sessions. They remain:

Everyday Ordinary Life
Husband and wife
Cindy and Tom came to therapy in the first NCU film because they were having financial problems. The couple had opposing views about money, which led to a conflict. The collaborative therapist concentrated on the couple's language during the session by paying great attention to the clients. The word "responsible" was used several times by the husband. While talking to each of them separately, the therapist asked them to define the word from their perspective. The client and therapist formed a conversational partnership as a result of this technique.
The therapist also demonstrated the not knowing stance and uncertainty by allowing the client to develop their solutions. One of the couple's solutions is to ask the husband's father for money.
Mother/Daughter
In the second NCU video, there is a mother and her 15-year-old daughter. The duo came to therapy because the daughter has been having behavioral issues at school; she has been suspended. The mother is confused about why the daughter has all of these difficulties. The
5
daughter has also been withdrawn at home. Cultures also played a big role in this scenario. The mother identifies as Russian and the daughter identities as Russian American. Throughout the session, it comes out that the father is engaged in extramarital affairs- resulting in the daughter's behaviors.
The therapist demonstrated many techniques, one of which she used was public. The therapist was public by inserting herself into how she would feel if her husband had extramarital affairs.
Slide 5
As mentioned before, there are a few written concepts for this model that aligns with the restructuring of client’s interactions:
Conversational Partners
- The therapist will concentrate on what the client is saying, listening intently and attempting to comprehend the situation from the client's perspective and in their language. The therapist will continue to show that they are paying attention to what the clients are saying and inquire about their satisfaction with the conversation's direction.
Therapy as Research
- Collaborative therapists frequently act as researchers, probing clients to relate their tales in great detail. The therapist will remain
6
intrigued by what the clients have to say about their experiences and circumstances.
Client as an Expert
- Collaborative therapists, like other postmodern therapies, regard clients as experts in their own lives. The client is an authority on the problem and its solution.
Not knowing
- Because collaborative therapists honestly think that clients know best how to live their lives, they encourage clients to develop their own therapeutic goals. The therapist will adopt a humble demeanor and convey the impression of not knowing anything about their clients.
Uncertainty- This is related to not knowing in that neither the therapist nor the client can predict where a therapeutic conversation will lead them.
Being public
- Instead of keeping their own thoughts, opinions, and ideas buried, collaborative therapists maintain an open attitude with their clients.
Everyday Ordinary Life-
For collaborative therapists, treatment is a social event, much like life. The dialogue and questions that are asked during a collaborative therapy session typically mimic daily interaction.

Slide 6
One of the many strengths are the client-therapist interaction and communication, as well as the inherent potential.
Slide 7
It is essential to incorporate the recovery model in collaborative language therapy. For recovery to happen, the client must develop solutions to their problems. The collaborative therapist can help clients by asking questions regarding the four major dimensions that support life in recovery.
Health
- it is overcoming or managing symptoms or diseases. This person is responsible for making informed health choices that support psychical and emotional well-being.
Home-
A stable and safe place to live
Purpose-
Meaningful daily activities, resources to participate in society
Community
- Relationships and social networks that provide friendships, love, and hope.
