Book synopsis

The Handbook Narrative Psychotherapy for Children, Adults and Families combines philosophical, scientific and theoretical insights in the field of narrative psychotherapy and links them to sources of inspiration such as poetry, film, literature and art under the common denominator 'narrative thinking'. Elaborate theoretical sections are alternated with a great number of case histories taken from several different therapeutic contexts. The reader will be able to wander through the many examples of therapeutic sessions, even literal transcriptions of an intervention, in which narrativity in all its forms is the point of departure. What language does the body speak? What message do seemingly random slips of the tongue convey? How can a painting give words to the story of a client?The concept of the logic of abduction is discussed and special attention is rendered to the aspects of creating a therapeutic context and the making of a therapeutic frame.The diversity of insights in this book will be of interest to the experienced psychotherapist as well as the starting therapist, who may be inspired by the practical sections.
