Narrative practice and exotic lives: Resurrecting diversity in everyday life (ePub+Converted PDF)

By Michael White

Are you

• searching for ways to dissolve conflict when working with couples?
• looking for therapeutic options to address the sense of personal failure that is so commonly experienced by those who seek counselling?
• hoping to undertake journeys in your work to fascinating and unexpected destinations?
• wanting to understand how considerations of history and culture shape the therapeutic endeavour?
• determined to assist people to free themselves from negative conclusions they have formed about their identities and relationships?

In this book, amusing and powerfully moving transcripts of therapeutic conversations sit alongside wide-ranging explorations and explanations of narrative practice.The papers in this book describe an approach to therapeutic enquiry that contributes to people finding themselves interested in novel understandings of the events of their lives, curious about aspects of their lives that had been forsaken, fascinated with neglected territories of their identities, and at times, awed by their own responses to the predicaments of their existence.It is an approach that enables the identification of ‘extraordinary worlds’ and assists in the resurrection of diversity in everyday life.Michael White was co-director of Dulwich Centre and one of the founders of what has come to be known as narrative therapy.
