Current Practices

MINDFULNESS AND NARRATIVE THERAPY - helps the client externalize the problem from themselves.

NARRATIVE EXPOSURE THERAPY - used for PTSD

Attachment Narrative Theory

Techniques are centered around questions designed to tap into the experiences of the client so they can solve their issues with the help of a Therapist.

Outside Witnessing - can be on the therapists side with observers creating more probes for the therapists or on the client's side with individuals on the client's side with permission adding to the narrative of the client

Therapeutic Documents - letters and documents that confirm who the client is and affirm their story

Externalization - A therapist separates the problem from the person so they do not think the problem is inseparable from who they are.

Deconstruction A therapist probes what systems of power influenced the narrative the client has. ex. Why do you believe that? or Who told you that?

Motivation for Change

Clients have the solutions within themselves

Clients are in charge of their own lives

The Founders of NT were Michael White and David Epstein.

They coauthored a book on NT entitled Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends.

Michael White worked with intersectional communities until his death in 2008.

They were Social Workers

Foundations of Theory

Individuals who create the rules and mores of society use it to oppress the powerless and thus the powerless must define their own truth "Foucault"

Deconstruction there is no fixed meaning to life the user must define life on their own terms "Foucault"

The human defines the world, the world does not define the human.

Postmodern Theory that states that reality is subjective.

Treatment occurs through five stages and involves teaching a client to reframe the negative views of their life into a more positive viewpoint.

All positive reactions and storylines are combined and integrated into a compendium of solutions that the client can use when they are confronted with their problems.

The client is asked if the negative aspects of their narrative match up with their goals.

The therapist intensively questions the client about their narrative to identify the depth and the impact of the problem.

The Therapist lets the client know that they define their problem. The problem is defined and given a name. Giving the problem a name separates the client from the problem.

5 Basic Tenets
