Trauma: Narrative responses to traumatic experience
- by
David Denborough (ed)
| |
This item must be shipped - costs will be added based on your location
| | Description:
In recent years, the field of ‘trauma work’ has grown exponentially and the increased interest in these matters offers many possibilities. This wide-ranging, thoughtful and practice-based book provides clear explanations about how to use narrative ideas to respond to adults, couples and/or children who have endured traumatic experience. Key themes include: * ways of ensuring that children (and adults) are not re-traumatised during counselling;
* ‘double listening’ – to listen not only to the story of trauma but also to the story of how the person has responded to the experiences they have endured;
* new approaches to ‘trauma de-briefing’;
* ways to unearth and acknowledge the values, skills and knowledge of those who have experienced multiple traumas;
* creative methods for responding to workers’ experience; and
* ideas for taking care not to replicate forms of psychological colonization when understandings about trauma work are ‘exported’ across cultures.

| | Description:
Adoption is one topic that - when written about - raises many questions and poses certain dilemmas. Many views can be taken on the topic, and there are always stories to be told. In this package, we have included some of these stories. There are stories of those who have had negative experiences when working with people who have been through adoption, and those who have personally experienced adoption. There are also the stories to be told from mother's who have given their children up for adoption, and of course, those too, from adoptive parents about their role. Not all stories are covered in this collection, but we hope to have given a broad overview of the processes and effects of adoption.

Within the project, people who experience 'voices and visions' (often referred to as the auditory and visual hallucinations of schizophrenia) work together with community support workers to expose the tactics and effects of these 'voices and visions'; to honour and build upon individuals' knowledges and skills; to create ever-widening communities of reflection and support; and to question collaboratively the dominant ways of understanding and living in this culture.

The ways in which we talk about pain and illness greatly reflects on how we experience it. The more we talk about painful situations, the less painful they become. This paper approaches such conversations in a workshop format, that create differences intended to generate new forms of resourcefullness. Strong suggests that conversing on how we converse about pain and suffering has the potential to minimise the suffering.

Crisis and Community
| |
This item must be shipped - costs will be added based on your location
| | Description:
Over the years, we have often received requests for articles about how narrative therapy ideas can be applied to crisis work. The first section of this issue comprises of two papers on this theme. The first, by Elizabeth Buckley and Philip Decter, offers a narrative and anthropological framework for working with children and families in crisis. The second paper, by Manja Visschedijk, explores the ways in which narrative ideas can be helpful for managers in responding to ‘crisis’ situations. The second section of this journal issue describes an approach to community work informed by narrative ideas that we hope will be of relevance to practitioners in a wide range of contexts. Over the last year, a number of Aboriginal communities, which are experiencing hard times, have been exchanging stories. These are stories about special skills, special knowledge, about hopes and dreams and the ways that people are holding onto these. They are stories that honour history. This article describes the thinking that has informed this process. It also contains extracts of stories and messages from different communities. The third section of this journal consists of two further practice-based papers. Judith Milner recounts the story of how a group of parents, who were caring for children whose behaviour had been sexually concerning or harmful, transformed their lives and, in the process, transformed a service. And David Epston, Cherelyn Lakusta and Karl Tomm describe a novel approach to parent-children conflicts.

Dancing with death
- by
Lorraine Hedtke
| |
This item can be downloaded once purchased.
| | Description:
In this article I wish to address the ongoing continuity of relationship. My belief is that when a person dies, arelationship does not die. When we experience death not as a finality but as an invitation to a new relationship with our dying loved one, we are breaking from a modernist approach that dictates we must 'get over' our grief and 'move on' in life. In spite of what we are taught about how a bereaved person should behave and grieve, 'letting go' may even be a harmful pathway.

As colonized people, our healing must come through self-determined action. The task for those of us from African traditions is therefore to take steps in generating and identifying culturally appropriate practices, processes and methods to heal our own. We are challenged to rescue, reconstruct, and define therapeutic metaphors based on our own cultural and historical experiences. This process is what I refer to as the development of a post-colonial therapy.

Discourse not language: The shift from a modernist view of language to the postmodern analysis of discourse in family therapy
- by
Stephen Madigan & Ian Law
| |
This item can be downloaded once purchased.
| | Description:
Modernist interpretations of language have led to a view of words and sentences as reflecting the "reality they represent". These ideas have been evident in developing the foundation of the culture of family therapy practice. Recently, discourse has become a popular theme for discussion. This paper discusses the shift from a modernist view of language to a postmodern view of discourse and its implication for the development and practice of family therapy.

| | Description:
Young people’s lives are evaluated and recorded on a daily basis by teachers and adults. Whilst working as a student counsellor in a New Zealand high school, Donald McMenamin realized the power of this documentation and sought to put it to work in acknowledging students’ skills, achievements and abilities. Working side-by-side with students, and developing transparent processes of documentation within the school, this paper conveys ways of making document mean far more than just a bit of paper – instead, these documents become celebrations of knowledge and skills and in turn enable young people to gain greater control over the problems they may be facing in their lives..

| | Description:
In this journal issue: Eileen Hurley describes her use of narrative documents in work with young men in a US jail.

An alternative intake questionnaire informed by narrative ideas, which was developed by David Denborough in collaboration with Maksuda Begum, is also included. Due to requests from readers, we have then included two papers about the use of narrative practices in responding to eating issues. Shona Russell describes ways in which narrative conversations can contribute to a deconstruction of perfectionism, while Tracy Craggs and Alex Reed provide a novel account of therapy for anorexia. The final section of this issue consists of four papers which focus on transgender experience and possibilities for practice.
