There exists some critique of Narrative Therapy that in its emphasis on larger societal discourses it has missed out on considering the more immediate family or the human networks that people live within. This one hour online webinar will respond to this critique and show how narrative practice in family therapy does attend to both the larger societal discourses as well as family intricacies at the most local level, and rather than blame families for the problems of family members, the narrative family therapy approach brings the family or networks together to counter the problem as they see it.
Educational Goals
Participants will be able to identify and apply a line of inquiry that draws on families collective wisdom Co-research video demonstrations will display from the families point of view, what works best in family therapy.
