Reflecting on the healing potentials of dialogue: A review of why dialogue does cure: Explaining what makes dialogue unprecedentedly effective in difficult crises by Jaakko Seikkula — Tom Strong 

Open Dialogue (OD) was developed in Finland as a family- and community-based response to psychiatric emergencies. Central to OD’s development have been the conceptual and research contributions of Jaakko Seikkula. I review and reflect on Seikkula’s recent book on OD’s development that shows how dialogic ideas, research, and client and collegial feedback have come to inform OD as he advocates it be currently practiced.
