Abstract
This paper considers the potential value of conversation analysis (CA) as a reflexive methodology for critical psychology. Following an outline of constructs within ethnomethodologically inspired CA, a number of implications for critical development in psychology are outlined. Noting the increasing use of CA within psychology, discussion touches on the reflexivity inherent in this methodological enterprise, and its tendency towards theoretical closure. The suggestion is made however, that 'doing CA' encourages an understanding of reflexive practice by requiring a critical awareness of participant-oriented methods for 'making sense of` everyday activities. Whether CA can contribute towards facilitating a post-structuralist criticality is then considered, followed by concluding comments on the potential advantages of CA for critical psychology.
