Produktbeschreibung

This significant volume brings together noted clinicians to offer practical ways of using narrative and other discursive methods of therapy. The innovative ideas presented build upon the social constructionist thinking that has influenced the field for the past decade. It covers topics such as addressing violence, discursive research, and "dialogues" with the authors to demonstrate how these therapies are carried out. Both clinicians and graduate students will find this book of great value.

Thomas Strong, Ph.D. is a psychologist and counselor educator at the University of Calgary. Formerly a practitioner throughout northwestern British Columbia, he recently re-entered academic life to explore the possibilities of discursive and postmodern thought for collaborative practice. Inspired by dialogica thinkers like Bakhtin, Garfinkel and Wittgenstein, his writing explores pragmatic and ethical issues such thought holds for psychotherapy, health conversations, and counselor education/supervision. Strong is also involved. In the Discursive Therapies ("The Virtual Faculty") graduate program offered online from Massey University in New Zealand. David Paré, Ph.D. is a psychologist and counselor educator at the University of Ottawa as well as co-director (with Mishka Lysack) of the Glebe Institute, A Centre for Constructive and Collaborative Practice, in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. For the past decade his work has focused on the 'postmodern turn' in family therapy and psychotherapy.
