`A thought provoking and interesting book that will be of interest to
nurses and others supporting patients′ - Accident and Emergency
Nursing `It is a relevant and timely book that will remind therapists
of the importance of the telling of client′s stories as an important
component of the therapeutic process. Whatever approach we use, the
client′s story will be a part of what we work with, so a
sophisticated questioning of what ′stories/narratives′ are will
benefit our work. This book is a good starting point for such an
exploration. It′s an interesting book that will appeal to
counsellors ready to challenge or add to their existing approach′ -
Therapy Today Narrative Therapy: An Introduction for Counsellors,
Second Edition, offers a clear and concise overview of this way of
working without oversimplifying its theoretical underpinnings and
practices. Narrative therapy places peoples′ accounts of their lives
and relationships at the heart of the therapeutic process. Its main
premise is that the telling and re-telling of experience by means of
guided questioning can facilitate changed, more realistic
perspectives, and open up possibilities for the person seeking
assistance to position him- or herself more helpfully in relation to
the issues brought to therapy. Drawing on the ideas of Michael White
and David Epston, this fully revised, extended and updated second
edition incorporates recent developments in narrative theory and
practice, and introduces developments initiated by other narrative
therapists worldwide. New material has been added around counselling
for post-traumatic reactions, couples conflict and a sense of personal
failure. The book is illustrated with extensive examples of practice
with individuals and couples. It is ideal for anyone on training
courses in narrative therapy, and also for counsellors who wish to
consider common ground between narrative ideas and their current
approach. Martin Payne is an independent therapist and trainer in
Norwich, UK.
