Narrative Therapy
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.
