December 1971, Robert Jay Lifton, the psychiatrist and researcher in survivorship, gave a lecture entitled “Experiments in Advocacy Research” at a meeting of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis. The word “advocacy” originally meant to plead in a law court on behalf of an accused by an attorney, but some social workers in the U.S. have used the word to represent and define their role as professionals. The idea of Advocacy Research as presented by Lifton has to do with the relationship between professionals and their clients. Although professionals tend to avoid recognizing their political, social and ethical standpoints, Lifton says, they have to try to “bring to together their political and social perspective and his professional one”. This paper demonstrates that the essence of advocacy research is a cycle of approaching the experience of survivors and the confirmation of their values. The practice of “Rap Groups,” set up by the antiwar Vietnam Veterans and Lifton in the early 70’s to enable veterans to talk about their experiences, was the ideal medium to conduct advocacy research. Lifton continued the conversations with the veterans on their traumatic experiences in the Vietnam War. This resulted in the recognition of Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. Rap groups, however, focused mainly on Veteran’s psychological problems and excluded the involvement of Vietnamese survivors as witnesses. Lifton’s work did not reference the voices of the Vietnamese because he only wanted to share the viewpoint of the Veterans. Professionals who devote advocacy research to certain survivors seem to have no choice but to stand on the same political ground as the survivors. Should the professional encompass all perspectives? This dilemma is the essence of the advocacy research.
