ABSTRACT
Swedish psychologists have practiced psychological consultation as a method in child care, preschool, and school since the beginning of 1970. Our experiences of rapid turnings in consultation have inspired Hylander to study turning points (2000). She found that there are no distinct turning points but rather a turning processes, where the consultee’s representation of the client is changed as result of an interactive process between the consultant and the consultee. In this process both the consultees’ and the consultants’ representations of the client are changed as a result of the consultant’s alternation between confirming and challenging the presentation, that is, the story that is been told.
