Research Project - Stepfamily Dynamics - Narratives of Mothers

Fill in our research form
This website and the creation of StepIn asap have arisen from Claire Asherson Bartram's doctoral project 'Narratives of Mothers in Stepfamilies, an Explorative Investigation'. This work is now complete. "I would be happy to hear from anyone interested in my projects. Please contact me by email: Claire Asherson Bartram and forward this to anyone that you think may be interested".

The overall aim of the project is to provide relevant psychotherapy services to people in stepfamily situations. This has taken place through increasing what is known about stepfamilies and working with other psychotherapists and professionals to continue learning about the issues people in stepfamilies face.

We have a research form that we are asking people to fill in to let and let us know what might interest you. If you email Claire Asherson Bartram she will send one out to you.

Fathers Wanted!!
for short interview as part of a research project conducted by Graham Shavick.

""I have a three year old son and 2 teenage stepchildren, and I’m fascinated to discover more about fathers in similar situations.

I’m looking for fathers who would be willing to be interviewed about their experience of parenting for my dissertation. I would like to interview fathers who have both stepchildren and their own children. I’m interested in how their own upbringing influences the way they are now as fathers.

The interview will take place at a mutually convenient location. The questions will be stimulating, thought provoking and it’s likely you will learn more about yourself. It will last between one and two hours. Everything is completely confidential and all names will be changed in my final report".

If you’re interested in taking part, or alternatively know someone else who might be, please contact Graham Shavick, 07734 297637 or email Graham Shavick
