Narrative Practice: Continuing the Conversations
Final thoughts from the now-deceased leader of narrative therapy. Michael White’s untimely death deprived therapists of a leading light. Here, available for the first time in book form, is a collection of the work he left behind—writings on topics dear to the psychotherapeutic world: turning points in therapy, conversations, resistance and therapist responsibility, couples therapy, and narrative responses to trauma.
Maps of Narrative Practice
Michael White, one of the founders of narrative therapy, is back with his first major publication since the seminal Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends, which Norton published in 1990. 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 readers 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 readers with an explanation of the practical implications, for therapeutic growth, of these conversations. The book is filled with transcripts and commentary, skills training exercises for the reader, and charts that outline the conversations in diagrammatic form. Readers 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.
Narrative Therapy Classics
Gathered together for this new book are papers and interviews by Michael White that transformed conventional notions of therapy, reshaped understandings of psychosis, provided new ways of responding to grief, and continue to profoundly challenge the hegemony of psychiatric knowledges. Equally moving and inspiring, these chapters convey a rare combination of political analysis and compassion. For some, reading this book will be like sitting once again with an old friend and being re-invigorated by their company. For others, each chapter will provide unexpected challenges and possibilities. Whether you are responding to people experiencing grief, mental health struggles, or traumatic experienc...
Narrative Means To Therapeutic Ends
Starting from the assumption that people experience emotional problems when the stories of their lives, as they or others have invented them, do not represent the truth, this volume outlines an approach to psychotherapy which encourages patients to take power over their problems.
Narratives of Therapists' Lives
Today it is commonplace to hear therapists speak of experiences of demoralisation, burden, fatigue and despair. This book proposes that this is significantly an outcome of how therapy is conceived of and practised, and draws out alternative conceptions and practices of therapy, supervision and training that provide a powerful antidote to despair. Readers will be provided with options for taking narrative practices unto their own lives - options that will reinvigorate and renew.
Experience, Contradiction, Narrative & Imagination
This volume is a collection of papers that were published by David Epston and Michael White between 1989 and 1991.¿The purpose in making these papers available in one source book is so that they can be read together. They cover a range of subjects including:¿personal reminiscence¿particular therapeutic practices¿practical approaches to various problems¿theoretical, political and philosophical considerations¿structures and issues pertaining to training and supervision¿- processes of questioning in the co-authorship of preferred stories.¿One of the aspects of the work reported in this collection that is of central importance to Michael and David is the spirit of adventure. These papers will introduce readers to this spirit and encourage readers to embark on further adventures of their own.
Meet Me at the Palaver
Meet me at the Palaver shows the damaging impact of colonial Christianity on indigenous African communities. The book opens with stories of destructive change brought to indigenous contexts, where in the culture, values, religion, and humanity of African peoples were often marginalized. Mucherera argues for a holistic narrative pastoral counseling approach to assess and service the three basic areas of human needs in indigenous African communities: body, mind, and spirit. The book presents a hopeful strategy of recovering stories, cultural traditions, and values that have been subjugated in the past as effective means for dealing with contemporary life in indigenous contexts such as Zimbabwe.
Counseling and Psychotherapy
This substantially revised and updated edition of a widely used textbook covers the major approaches to counseling and psychotherapy from a Christian perspective, with hypothetical verbatim transcripts of interventions for each major approach and the latest empirical or research findings on their effectiveness. The second edition covers therapies and techniques that are increasing in use, reduces coverage of techniques that are waning in importance, and includes a discussion of lay counseling. The book presents a Christian approach to counseling and psychotherapy that is Christ-centered, biblically based, and Spirit-filled.
