Abstract
Discusses how ethnomethodological studies, which focus on the practices through which people enact what they regard as a meaningful reality, provide a resource for person-centered perspectives by describing how versions of the person are created, sustained or dissolved in everyday, organizational, and research contexts. The ethnomethodological approach is illustrated through a discussion of studies by M. Pollner and L. McDonald-Wikler (see record 1986-14772-001) and D. A. Goode (in press) of families with children diagnosed as severely limited in their capacity for communication. The studies show that versions of the children's competence are constituted by the practices of the families, the clinics, and the ethnomethodological investigators.
