RESISTANCE:
WHAT’S IN A NAME?
LINDSEY ROBB
l.robb@napier.ac.uk
AIMS
• What do we mean by resistance?
• Identify key attributes
• Examine four specific examples
• Explore theoretical perspectives
• What are the implications of these?
RESISTANCE IS………..
reluctance, avoidance, non-
compliance, ‘hard to reach’,
non-engagement, aggression,
threats or hostility,
deception, manipulation, not
allowing access, disguised
compliance, pathological
communication.
Not a new concept
A challenge in practice
Complex - evident in behaviour,
attitudes and/or interactions
Dynamic process
An integral part of current child
protection practice
Negative
RESISTANCE IS…?
Less clarity whether:
• Resistance is on a continuum from resistant–
‘highly resistant’
• Gender affects resistance
• Culture affects resistance
• Some of the reasons why it exists
RESISTANCE: EXAMPLES
To intervention To engagement
To change
Practitioner or organisations
Need to regularly ask:
Resistant to what?
Who is resistant?
Influence of gender or culture?
REASONS FOR RESISTANCE: PARENTS/CARERS
Other Reasons
External Factors:
help offered via a
system that parents fear
and mistrust and where
they feel they lack power
Internal factors:
Psychological theories:
normal reaction to threat
(Mirick 2014) or feelings of
shame (Gibson 2014)
Need to consider the sources of and uses of power
(Laird 2013) and try to understand their lived experience
Deliberate way for some parents to avoid professionals
(Brandon et al 2009, 2010, 2012)
REASONS FOR RESISTANCE: PRACTITIONERS
‘Resistance is the norm’
(Featherstone, White & Morris
2014)
Fear of getting it
wrong
Fear for own safety –
need support to use
‘authoritative negotiated’
approach (Ferguson 2011)
Organisational issues: time/resources/culture
RESISTANCE
To intervention To engagement
Practitioner or organisations
Need to regularly ask:
Resistant to what?
Who is resistant?
Influence of gender or culture?
Why and under which circumstances?
What is the parent/carer’s perspective?
What is my own or my organisation’s contribution?
What is the impact on me?
Integrated model of engagement Platt (2012)
CONCLUSION
Resistance is ill defined and
though common attributes
can be identified it is used
inconsistently and applies
to a variety of practice
situations. A questioning
approach is advised.
Theoretical models can also
help understand resistance
at the practitioner level.
Rather than a blame model
this provides a more
nuanced understanding of
wider
organisational influences.
Resistance is a complex
concept and challenge for
practice. Theoretical
models can provide insight
into why parents may be
resistant to help or
engaging with services.
An integrated model for
understanding resistance
also includes questioning
the influence of oppression
and use of power in the
context of the child
protection system.

Resistance What's in a Name?

  • 1. RESISTANCE: WHAT’S IN A NAME? LINDSEY ROBB l.robb@napier.ac.uk
  • 2. AIMS • What do we mean by resistance? • Identify key attributes • Examine four specific examples • Explore theoretical perspectives • What are the implications of these?
  • 3. RESISTANCE IS……….. reluctance, avoidance, non- compliance, ‘hard to reach’, non-engagement, aggression, threats or hostility, deception, manipulation, not allowing access, disguised compliance, pathological communication. Not a new concept A challenge in practice Complex - evident in behaviour, attitudes and/or interactions Dynamic process An integral part of current child protection practice Negative
  • 4. RESISTANCE IS…? Less clarity whether: • Resistance is on a continuum from resistant– ‘highly resistant’ • Gender affects resistance • Culture affects resistance • Some of the reasons why it exists
  • 5. RESISTANCE: EXAMPLES To intervention To engagement To change Practitioner or organisations Need to regularly ask: Resistant to what? Who is resistant? Influence of gender or culture?
  • 6. REASONS FOR RESISTANCE: PARENTS/CARERS Other Reasons External Factors: help offered via a system that parents fear and mistrust and where they feel they lack power Internal factors: Psychological theories: normal reaction to threat (Mirick 2014) or feelings of shame (Gibson 2014) Need to consider the sources of and uses of power (Laird 2013) and try to understand their lived experience Deliberate way for some parents to avoid professionals (Brandon et al 2009, 2010, 2012)
  • 7. REASONS FOR RESISTANCE: PRACTITIONERS ‘Resistance is the norm’ (Featherstone, White & Morris 2014) Fear of getting it wrong Fear for own safety – need support to use ‘authoritative negotiated’ approach (Ferguson 2011) Organisational issues: time/resources/culture
  • 8. RESISTANCE To intervention To engagement Practitioner or organisations Need to regularly ask: Resistant to what? Who is resistant? Influence of gender or culture? Why and under which circumstances? What is the parent/carer’s perspective? What is my own or my organisation’s contribution? What is the impact on me? Integrated model of engagement Platt (2012)
  • 9. CONCLUSION Resistance is ill defined and though common attributes can be identified it is used inconsistently and applies to a variety of practice situations. A questioning approach is advised. Theoretical models can also help understand resistance at the practitioner level. Rather than a blame model this provides a more nuanced understanding of wider organisational influences. Resistance is a complex concept and challenge for practice. Theoretical models can provide insight into why parents may be resistant to help or engaging with services. An integrated model for understanding resistance also includes questioning the influence of oppression and use of power in the context of the child protection system.
