Narrative Therapy

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Narrative therapy uses the findings and methods of narrative psychology to help the client by telling their biographical history to understand better their lives and re-evaluate, to give it a meaning ( for meaning ), by telling a new and different story to change life and to find a new perspective on life. The goals are: the ability to understand the connections in life better or in a new way, to discover new resources , to strengthen the conviction that one can shape one's own life and to regain the belief in the meaning of life, which is closely related to the concept the “ coherence ” (which is best characterized by the English terms: “Comprehensibility - Manageability - Meaningfulness” ) in salutogenesis .

The narrative therapy received essential impulses from the systemic family therapy , in combination with the constructivism . Constructivism teaches that man “constructs” his own reality through the importance he attaches to his experiences - or precisely: through the stories he tells about himself, because these life stories decisively determine his identity and his self-concept (see also autobiographical memory ).

In narrative therapy with couples, the partners learn to understand each other's story and to find a common couple story together that is worth living in.
