The Language of the Soul in Narrative Therapy uniquely bridges the gap
between narrative therapy and spirituality to describe how the theory
and practice of narrative therapy may be expanded and enriched by
incorporating the language of the soul. Divided into three parts, the
book begins by contextualizing the approach of narrative therapy and
spirituality. Chapters then debate the complexity of the ‘soul’ as
a term drawing on the work of Christian mystics and philosophers, such
as Teresa of Avila, Edith Stein, Merleau-Ponty, and Bakhtin, to show
how their theoretical ideas can be incorporated in counseling practice
and spiritual direction. The book concludes by discussing how the
language of the soul can be integrated and applied in postmodern
practice. With case examples from faith belief systems, such as
Christianity, Buddhism, Paganism, Wicca, and Yazidism, throughout,
this book is essential reading for therapists, clinical social
workers, and counsellors in practice and graduate training, as well as
spiritual directors and pastoral counselors interested in the ideas
and practices of narrative therapy.
