Introduction to Narrative Therapy with Families
This workshop provides a practice-based introduction to the school of Narrative Therapy (NT) founded by Michael White and David Epston. You will have the opportunity to discuss its principles, philosophies and concepts, and how they compare to other models. You will gain an understanding and have the opportunity to practice two main introductory techniques of ‘externalising conversations’ (working with the problem) and identifying ‘unique outcomes’ (finding solutions). The workshop also touches on the next step, ‘re-authoring,’ which refers to building the new story, and also how to start and end the session NT style. Depending on participant needs, witnessing responses and therapeutic documents may also be covered within training.
