How Problems are Seen
• Problems arise because of subscriptions to narrow and self defeating views of world
• People are not problems; the problem is the problem
• Problems are to be deconstructed and externalized
![Page 4: Narrative therapy slides](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022071815/55a843d21a28ab48358b47d6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
New Insights Through Stories• Drawing people’s attention to subtle changes
in their lives can foster new insights, promote empowerment, and help people develop better ways to resolve difficulties
• People become authors of their own lives• Clients are experts on their lives. • Externalization allows re-authoring (hidden
problems can’t be changed)

Emphasis in Therapy
• Listening, accepting, making non-judgmental, non-confrontational comments
• Can ask multiple forms of same question (intricate and delicate process)
• Therapist as linguistic detective• Not seeking to heal or fix, but to learn about
client and understand them

Goals

Therapist Role continued
• Search for exceptions to the problem• Ask clients to speculate about what kind of
future they could expect from new feelings of competence
• Separate person from problem

Techniques
• Questions!! More questions!!
• Creating alternative stories, identifying preferred directions
• Externalizing – when has client been successful, new (less problem-saturated) stories around problems

Limitations
• No set formulas• Attitude is critical• Therapist needs to be able to make quick
assessments, assist clients in setting up goals and effectively use appropriate interventions
