SS5805 · Narrative-based Therapeutic Conversations: Theory and Practice

This course aims to offer an overview of the "narrative turn" in human sciences and examine the role and application of narrative (de)construction in counselling and psychotherapy, with dual foci on the theoretical work underpinning narrative-based therapeutic systems, notably Narrative Therapy, and the development of skilled performance in opening up narrative space and navigating (de)constructing and re-authoring conversations in therapeutic work in human services and other professional/occupational contexts.
