Gezin in Gesprek
Lectorale rede van dr. M. (Martine) Noordegraaf op 24 september 2010. Centraal staat de vraagl: hoe kun je een gesprek hebben in een relatie die professioneelen niet op voorhand vertrouwd is? Hoe leer je als professional om dergelijke gesprekken te voeren?Nog belangrijker: hoe breng je als professional je cliënten opconstructieve wijze met elkaar in gesprek? Kan dat wel? Endaarbij; soms is de motivatie voor het gesprek, of het verlangen omde ander nog te ontmoeten, zelf aangetast. Hoe motiveer je mensenom zich in elkaar te verdiepen, om door het gesprek elkaars wereldopnieuw te verkennen en zo problemen te overwinnen?Communicatie met behulp van woorden is niet minder dan een mysterie dat aan ‘mens-zijn’ verbonden is. Dezefascinatie voor het gesprek is de drijfveer achter de belangrijkste onderzoeksvraag van het lectoraat Jeugd en Gezin verbonden aan de Academie voor Sociale Studies van de Christelijke Hogeschool Ede.

In this study we examine how suitability for adoptive parenthood is assessedand displayed in interactions between social workers and prospective adoptiveparents. In particular, we have analyzed relationship questions that areput to couples with and without an observation from the social worker. Theanswers are featured as very precise, stressing the positive aspects of therelationship but avoiding sainthood, and accompanied with examples thatillustrate the stability of the relationship. We concluded that it is not only‘‘what’’ couples answer but also ‘‘how’’ they answer that is taken intoaccount in the assessment. That is why ‘‘being able to finish o¤ eachother’s sentences when giving an answer’’ and ‘‘having the ability to reflecton the relationship’’ is considered to be a protective factor for adoptiveparenthood.

Prospective adoptive parents who take part in a Dutch adoption assessment procedure are asked to writedown their life stories. In this article we examine how information from the life stories is deleted, selectedand transformed into a topic to talk about in an assessment interview and/or to write about in arecommendation record. We have shown in a detailed analysis how prospective adoptive parentsdemonstrate themselves to be “normal people” with “normal childhoods” and how life events are selectedfrom the life stories as a means to assess the coping qualities of the prospective adoptive parents. We couldconclude that social workers in the recommendation record: 1) turn statements made by the parents intofacts; 2) leave statements in the parents' own words, and that they 3) assess suspicions of possible risk factorsin the interview but omit them from the record. By using conversation analysis as a method we could gain aninsight into the dynamics of assessment, making visible exactly how social workers collect information aboutpeople's background to arrive at a decision about whether the candidates are suitable adoptive parents.
