Many important therapeutic situations (abuse, addictions, eating disorders, and more) are addressed from the narrative perspective. Through the presentation of case studies, Narrative Therapy: Making Meaning, Making Lives shows how this narrative-oriented theory can be applied in the client-therapist experience. Authors Catrina Brown and Tod Augusta-Scott situate this approach to theory and practice within the context of various feminist, post-modern and critical theories. This edited volume introduces students to the history and theory of narrative therapy. Narrative Therapy: Making Meaning, Making Lives offers a comprehensive introduction to and critique of narrative therapy and its theories. Narrative Therapy is a meaningful contribution to a Canadian book market lacking in clinical literature for social workers" - CANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL WORKERS "This compilation is an insightful read for practitioners who have not taken the opportunity to use narrative therapy in practice.Experienced practitioners will certainly appreciate the theoretical analysis offered by the writers as well as the opportunity for reflective practice. It gores many sacred cows of the larger modernist therapeutic community, but in doing so it offers new ideas for mental health professionals attempting to help their clients with common and serious life problems." -PSYCRITIQUES "This volume is especially useful in demonstrating the effects of placing social discourses at the center of therapy.
