Story Re-Visions Narrative Therapy in the Postmodern World

This book shows how clinicians can utilize narrative therapy to help patients find their own voice, describe their experiences, and replace oppressive and debilitating perspectives with liberating and legitimizing life stories. Emphasizing the vital connections among personal experience, family, and community, the authors explore the role of narrative within the postmodern context. They employ the interactional dynamics of family therapy to demonstrate how to enable clients to develop more intentional, fulfilling lives. Illustrated with numerous case examples and dialogues, the book presents specific narrative therapy techniques, inventions, interviewing guidelines, and therapeutic questions. This book will be of interest to family therapists, psychologists, psychiatrists, counselors, and graduate students in these fields.Parry, Alan is the author of 'Story Re-Visions Narrative Therapy in the Postmodern World', published 1994 under ISBN 9780898625707 and ISBN 089862570X.
