The remainder of the chapter unfolds as follows: in the next section I continue with an extended discussion of heteronormativity – justified, I would suggest, by the pervasiveness of this phenomenon in ELT materials and the implications this may have for students and teachers in a variety of settings.

The potentialities for true ‘dialogue’ can be found in reactions within psychology to what has been seen as the univocality inherent to psychotherapy. These reactions are located within a movement termed ‘critical psychology’, of which Parker is a key figure (1999, 2002), and which Sampson describes as being ‘dedicated to helping provide voice for those whose versions have rarely been accorded the kind of legitimacy they deserve’ (2000: 3). In ‘critical psychology’ the notion that the therapist is an ‘expert’ whose role is to direct the therapeutic encounter according to a pre-determined format is challenged, and therapists encouraged to ‘help their clients to understand the situated and relational nature of selfhood, to allow them to understand their different voices’ (Hepburn, 2003: 83).
