A good idea, well delivered. Not really worth 4 stars due to minor errors that should have been picked up by an editor, and the fact that this introduction was really not very good to read towards the end, but gave it 4 anyway because the idea is so positive, and resonates so deeply with me, I couldn't resist. Non-empirical works like this sometimes leave me feeling cynical and jaded, but I am empathetic enough to recognise that this method is potentially a brilliant tool with which to support p A good idea, well delivered.
Non-empirical works like this sometimes leave me feeling cynical and jaded, but I am empathetic enough to recognise that this method is potentially a brilliant tool with which to support people re-authoring narratives which embody and create problems for them. Some of it is simple enough: looking more deeply into the details of exceptions to the problem narrative.
However, I expect a lot more further training will be required for any therapist wanting to hold the position this therapy promotes, that stories of strengths, brought to the fore, can effectively marginalise 'the problem', separating it out from the person, and allowing them room to explore different roles which feed into alternate positive identities. This book often focuses on therapy with children, often for quite innocuous complaints like tantrums or bad dreams, but the modality is flexible enough to be relevant for serious ailments such as anxiety-depression or schizophrenia.
I especially like the idea of 'therapeutic documentation', and the assemblage of a narrative of the 'problem' through the records relevant to treatment. Will definitely be looking into Narrative Therapy more. This book is easy to read. It's highly practical: it provides lots of example questions and comments that counselors can use when using a narrative therapy approach. Personally, I'm a student in mental health counseling.
I believe that helping clients identify the narratives that implicitly affect their lives allows them to consider which parts of their narrative are more or less helpful in the present day.

Very useful! Jul 31, Bob Munson rated it it was amazing. I love it when the title is accurate. It is an easy to read introduction to narrative therapy. Equally important, it explained how this form of therapy works and why it is worth being familiar with the principles. Mar 12, Emily rated it it was amazing. Really great brief introduction, including visualizations to aid the clinician in understanding the theory as well as many great questions to help get you started in session.
Oct 19, Jacqueline rated it it was amazing. This is a great intro to Narrative Therapy. There are a lot of lists, which is helpful for me. Worth every penny! Dec 24, Steve rated it really liked it. It's pretty easy to see how the story we tell ourselves and accept from others affects how we see ourselves, our identity.
And, how we see ourselves can affect our ability to face challenges in life, often reinforcing a negative spiral. So, how would you start to change a negative narrative?
This book acts as a primer for ways of unwinding the whirlpool of personal inefficacy a harmful narrative causes. However, it's not a good fit for clinicians looking for an extensive evidence-based work from It's pretty easy to see how the story we tell ourselves and accept from others affects how we see ourselves, our identity. However, it's not a good fit for clinicians looking for an extensive evidence-based work from which to start integrating narrative therapy into their practice.
It's better for laypeople looking for an easy-to-read introduction for ways to start improvements in the narrative they tell themselves about themselves. Like a little bit of kryptonite for the critical inner voice.
