Synopsis

Michael White, one of the founders of narrative therapy, is back with his first major publication since the seminal Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends.

Maps of Narrative Practice provides brand new practical and accessible accounts of the major areas of narrative practice that White has developed and taught over the years, so that listeners may feel confident when utilizing this approach in their practices. The book covers each of the five main areas of narrative practice—re-authoring conversations, remembering conversations, scaffolding conversations, definitional ceremony, externalizing conversations, and rite of passage maps—to provide listeners with an explanation of the practical implications, for therapeutic growth, of these conversations. Listeners both well-versed in narrative therapy as well as those new to its concepts, will find this fresh statement of purpose and practice essential to their clinical work.

Amazing book about Narrative Therapy from the founder, with many examples, transcribed. He truly was a master therapist and the book also demonstrates the theory's roots in philosophy. The audiobook is an excellent entry point and suits the many dialogue sections, but I will now order a hard copy so......more
