Narrative Therapy and Research
| |  |  | |
|  | |
The first sections of this journal consists of a diverse collection of papers. These relate to: questioning how attitudes to women’s sexuality influence women who have been subjected to sexual assault; proposals for using narrative maps of practice to assist people in changing their relationships to substances; a letter to the ongoing ‘Feminism, therapy and narrative ideas project’ discussing transsexual/transgendered experience; and the write-up of a recent gathering on Robben Island, South Africa, in which participants from Uganda, Rwanda, Namibia, Samoa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, Lesotho, Germany, Burundi, Eritrea, Northern Ireland, the USA, Australia and South Africa came together to try to find ways to contribute towards the healing of histories of trauma that have occurred in their respective countries. The second section of this journal focuses on the theme of research and narrative ideas. It begins with a question and answer paper which explores the origins of narrative therapy being understood as co-research and the many vibrant links between narrative practices and research practices. Other papers describe ways of repositioning traditional research in ways that honour clients’ accounts of therapy; ways of inviting those with whom we work to document their ‘wisdoms’ and to make these available to other families; ways of evaluating therapy conversations that are congruent with narrative practice; and the story of one practitioner's professional identity story as she moved from engaging with narrative practice in counselling, to narrative practice in research. Finally, this journal also includes two invitations to you the reader. We hope you will become involved in our new project about ‘Responding to trauma: including the trauma of war, occupation, terror, political violence and torture’. And we also hope you will join us in a new ‘Village-to-village’ project which is attempting to build links between our readership and a number of villages in Papua New Guinea.
