Summary:

How can we resist the isolating nature of individual therapy?How can we sustain work that involves listening to stories of violation and oppression? What does feminism have to offer to narrative practice?Loretta Pederson's exquisite stories of practice respond to these questions. This practical book includes transcripts, example questions and explorations of narrative practices such as the absent but implicit, enabling contribution and the use of folk psychology. Loretta also demonstrates the use of podcasts, songs and current events to scaffold conversations about the social issues affecting people's lives.Whether you are new to narrative therapy or are looking for inspiration to extend your practice, this book offers fresh ideas for narrative conversations and invites you to challenge and reflect on your own approach to counselling.Loretta Pederson is a counsellor, supervisor and trainer with more than 20 years' experience. She is a Dulwich Centre faculty member, teaching in Australia and abroad, and supports tutors and students in the Master of Narrative Therapy and Community Work at The University of Melbourne.
