Narrative Therapy An Introduction for Counsellors
Author: Martin Payne

He provides an overview of narrative therapy practices, vividly illustrated with transcripts of sessions and descriptions of sequences from his own counselling sessions, and describes the post-structuralist philosophical assumptions which inform narrative therapy. As the reader is guided through this sometimes difficult and unfamiliar way of thinking and working, many assumptions in traditional counselling are re-examined, and the reader is invited to consider the extent to which values and methods of narrative therapy might resonate with, enrich or challenge their existing approach. The book ends with an experiential exercise in narrative co-supervision.For trainee family therapists, and counsellors working with individuals and couples, this book will be relevant, challenging and thought-provoking. Narrative Therapy provides a clear, detailed and up-to-date account of Michael White's thinking.
