Eating issues, transgender journeys and narrative practice

|  | |
This particular issue of the journal consists of papers from the USA, Bangladesh, Australia, UK, Norway and Canada. The diversity of countries is matched by a diversity of topics. Eileen Hurley describes her use of narrative documents in work with young men in a US jail. Maksuda Begum conveys stories of her work in Dhaka, Bangladesh, in which she speaks with children with disabilities and their mothers. 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 focuses on transgender experience and possibilities for practice. Jodi Aman provides an account of therapeutic work with a young person whose journey to gender belonging involved moving from identifying as a young woman, to identifying as a young man. Julie Tilsen, David Nylund and Lorraine Grieves then combine theoretical understandings with practice examples of conversations with lesbian women whose partners are transitioning from female to male gender identities. While Aya Okumura documents the stories of male to female transgender journeys of getting through tough times. Significantly, Aya also provides a framework of questions that practitioners could use in a range of other counselling or therapeutic contexts. This section is then completed with a reflection by Esben Esther Pirelli Benestad, an influential Norwegian bi-gender doctor.
