Show full item recordAbstract
The aim of the workshop is to demonstrate the application
of a new model of multiple self in the context of personal
wellbeing. We will present the model of agonistic self-based on
power relations between its components. We conceptualize the
agonistic self as a strategic situation consisting of temporary,
dynamic and context-shaped power relations between different
voices. A new methodology is developed in order to explore
the structure and dynamics of the agonistic self as well as to
facilitate its change in various fields of psychological practice.
The participants of the workshop will be introduced to the
model of agonistic self through guided exploration of their own
repertoires of voices and their relations. Firstly, the participants
will be encouraged to elicit various thoughts and practices that
they use as strategies for maintaining their wellbeing when faced
with challenging circumstances. After that, they will be asked to
envision these strategies as if they we...re voices to be named and
ascribed short narratives to. Further, the participants’ repertoires
of voices will be supplemented by the voices that they recognize
as originating from significant others. Finally, the participants
will describe the relationships between the elicited voices, in
terms of their relative strength, cooperation, antagonism, etc.
Insights gained from mapping the structure and dynamics of
their agonistic selves will be further used in group discussion on
strategies for improvement of their personal wellbeing. This will be facilitated by the questions such as: which of the voices need
to be supported or silenced, which voices should appear in the
strategic situation in order to reduce some important conflict
etc. As a result, participants will reflect upon their self-regulation
strategies regarding wellbeing. Also, they will gain basic skills
in application of the agonistic self-methodology which will
hopefully become a part of their professional toolkit.
