  The authors are clinicians and supervisors, as well as academics. In their years of practising family therapy—Anne first in the Norwegian far north and then, for most of her working years, in Oslo, and Bård in the Agder region in the Norwegian far south—the issue of forgiveness has repeatedly presented itself as a persistent knot. In this chapter, they aim to share some of their experiences—one could perhaps even call it expertise (as in “having learnt something from experience”), as it relates to issues of forgiveness.

  In this chapter, we use material from two research projects to show how institutional ethnography’s sensitivity toward disjunctures has put us as researchers on the trail of everyday life problematics. In institutional ethnogra- phy, disjuncture refers to the contradiction between institutional discourses and authoritative texts by which society is governed, and the local experiences that people have. One of the research projects was concerned with the experience of parents who were institutionally identified as part of a “high-conflict divorce case”. This exploration began from parents’ accounts of meetings with profes- sionals from the welfare, legal and therapy apparatus and then examined how professionals accounted for the same type of meetings. The second research project explored school-related stress and assessment practices among girls in upper secondary school. Here, a disjuncture between the girls’ experience of daily homework and preparing for tests on the one hand, and school policy guidelines and official intentions on the other, was explored. In this project, the exploration of the disjuncture was accomplished by looking specifically at how the girls explained their use of certain texts in school, tracing their authority to more general or “boss” texts.

  This paper points out some problematic aspects of qualitative research based on interviews and uses examples from mental health. The narrative approach is explored while inquiring if the reality of life here is forced into the formula of a chronological story. The hermeneutic approach, in general, is also examined, and we ask if the reality of life in this scenario becomes caught up in a web of interpretations. Inspired by ideas from Bakhtin and phenomenology, we argue for interview-based research that stays with unresolvedness and constantly question the web of interpretations and narratives that determine our experiences. This also chimes with certain dialogical practices in mental health in which tolerance of uncertainty is the guiding principle. Concludingly, we suggest that interview-based research could be a practice of ‘un-resolving’ in which researchers, together with the participants, look for cracks, contradictions, and complexities to prevent the qualitative fallacies of well-organized meanings and well-composed stories.

  Artikkelen er blitt til i en klinisk hverdag hvor det ofte foregår faglige drøftinger om kunnskapssyn. Forfatterne beskriver og drøfter noen spenninger, faglige diskusjoner og etiske dilemmaer profesjonsutøvere står overfor i denne konteksten. de er opptatt av at kunnskap innen psykisk helsefeltet stadig er i bevegelse og at kunnskapsutvikling skjer i gode dialoger mellom fagfolk, men ikke minst ved at klientene og det lokale nettverket får delta aktivt i denne kunnskapsutviklingen.
