Negotiating mental health rehabilitation plans: Joint future talk and clashing time talk in professional client interaction

This article explores how discourses of time are produced and negotiated in professional client interaction when making mental health rehabilitation plans. The discourse of linear time is dominant in interaction and shared by both participants to create joint future talk. However, the clients might challenge the dominant time talk by using the discourse of the time of mindful body (Fahlgren, 2009), resulting in clashing time talk. The discourses of time are linked with identity categorisation and with the criteria of ‘good’ and ‘bad’ professional work and clienthood. The analysis demonstrates the relevancy and consequentiality of time talk in professional client interaction.
