Opis

Narration and Therapeutic Action uses clinical illustrations to articulate theoretical ideas. You will find chapters ranging from the highly abstract and theoretical to those that consider very specific dimensions of clinical process. Contributors examine various aspects of narrative theory and its relationship to psychoanalysis and clinical social work. You'll get in-depth information about:
•important theoretical contributions of psychoanalytic authors (including Roy Schafer, Donald Spence, and the French psychoanalyst Jacque Lacan) to the study of narratives
•how to use various frameworks, such as self psychology and multigenerational family systems theory, as a structure for analysis of clients' narratives
•narratives and their “fit” in psychoanalytic developmental theories
•the evolution of specific narratives in the context of ongoing psychoanalytically-oriented treatment
•the narration of traumatic experiences in dynamic psychotherapy
