TROUBLED TALK - IRIT KUPFERBERG DAVID GREEN KAR...

How is meaning constructed discursively by participants in problem discourse? To which
discursive resources do they resort in order to accomplish their complicated tasks of problem
presentation and negotiation of possible solutions? To what extent are these resources related
to the interactional and meaningful construction of problems and solutions? Irit Kupferberg and
David Green - a discourse analyst and a clinical psychologist - have explored
naturally-occurring media  hotline  and cyber troubled discourse in a quest for answers.
Inspired by a constructivist-interpretive theoretical framework grounded in linguistic
anthropology  conversation analysis  narrative inquiry  and clinical psychology as well as
their professional experience  the authors put forward three novel claims that are illustrated
by 70 attention-holding examples. First  sufferers often present their troubles through
detailed narrative discourse as well as succinct story-internal tropes such as metaphors and
similes - discursive resources that constitute two interrelated versions of the troubled self.
Particularly interesting are the intriguing figurative constructions produced in acute
emotional states or at crucial discursive junctions. Second  such figurative constructions
often 'lubricate' the interactive negotiation of solutions. Third  when the figurative and
narrative resources of self-construction are employed in the public arena they are used and
sometimes abused by the media representatives  depending on a plethora of contextual resources
identified in this book.
