ICharles Antaki
Charles Antaki is Professor of Language and Social Psychology at Loughborough University, Leichestershire, England.
I'm a sort of social psychologist, and the work I like doing is Conversation Analysis. I use it to find out about things like ...
... how people handle their own and others' identities
For example:
Antaki, C and Widdicombe, S (eds) (1998) Identities in Talk London: Sage Publications
... the nuts and bolts of conversation
For example:
Antaki, C. and Wetherell, M (1999) Show concessions. Discourse Studies, 1, 7-27
Antaki, C. (2002) Personalising a question to repair a failed answer. Discourse Studies, 4, 411-428
... what happens in talk between people with learning disabilities and care staff
For example:
Antaki, C, Young, N and Finlay, M. (2002) Shaping Clients' Answers: Departures from Neutrality in Care Staff Interviews with People with a Learning Disability. Disability and Society , 17, 435-455)
... and how psychotherapists and clients achieve their therapeutic goals
For example:
Antaki, C, Leudar, I and Barnes, R (2005) Diagnostic Formulations in Psychotherapy. Discourse Studies, 7 pp 627-647
Antaki C, Barnes, R and Leudar, I (2005) Trouble in Agreeing on a Client's Problem in a Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy Session. Rivista di Psicolinguistica Aplicata: Studying Social Interaction: The Contribution of Conversation Analysis, IV, pp 129-140.
