Collective Narrative Practice: Responding to individuals, groups and communities who have experienced trauma
- by
David Denborough
| |
This item must be shipped - costs will be added based on your location
| | Description:
This book introduces a range of hopeful methodologies to respond to individuals, groups and communities who are experiencing hardship. These approaches are deliberately easy to engage with and can be used with children, young people and adults. The methodologies described include: Collective narrative documents, Enabling contributions through exchanging messages and convening definitional ceremonies, The Tree of Life: responding to vulnerable children, The Team of Life: giving young people a sporting chance, Checklists of social and psychological resistance, Collective narrative timelines, Maps of history, and Songs of sustenance. To illustrate these approaches, stories are shared from Australia, Southern Africa, Israel, Ireland, USA, Palestine, Rwanda and elsewhere. This book also breaks new ground in considering how responding to trauma also involves responding to social issues. How can our work contribute not only to ‘healing’ but also to ‘social movement’? As we work with the stories of people’s lives can we contribute to the remaking of folk culture? And is it possible to move beyond the dichotomy of individualism/collectivism? Collective narrative practices are now being engaged with in many different parts of the world. This book invites the reader to engage with these approaches in their own ways.

| |

This publication documents ways in which narrative practices can be used to respond to individual and collective trauma. In late 2007, David Denborough, Jill Freedman and Cheryl White from the Dulwich Centre Foundation (Australia) and the Evanston Family Therapy Center (USA) headed to Kigali, Rwanda, to provide support and narrative skills training to 34 trauma counsellors and assistant lawyers, all of whom are themselves survivors of the Rwandan genocide. This publication documents what was addressed during the workshop. It also documents the skills and knowledges of genocide survivors in dealing with the effects of trauma in their lives. This is a powerfully moving and inspiring testimony. At the same time, this publication practically demonstrate how narrative approaches can be used in situations of extreme trauma in order to strengthen hope in contexts of hopelessness. The publication is accompanied by a short DVD which contains the stories of the skills and knowledges of the Rwandan workers. (The DVD is in PAL/region 4 format, and will also play on 'all region' DVD players in other areas.)

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.

Yia Marra: Good stories that make spirits strong
from the people of Ntaria/Hermannsburg & Creating storylines: What is it about these stories that ‘make spirits strong’? And how did these stories come to be? by David Denborough, Barbara Wingard, & Cheryl White Over the last few years, Dulwich Centre Foundation has been involved in a project in which Aboriginal communities have been sharing stories about special skills and knowledge in dealing with community hardships. The first part of this publication consists of stories from Ntaria/Hermannsburg about the ways in which they are dealing with grief, the ‘grog’ (alcohol), and other community hardships. These stories have since been shared with other communities and some of the messages that have been returned are also included here. The second part of this publication explains the principles informing this project and introduces new concepts in relation to collective narrative practice. Drawing on narrative ideas and the work of Paulo Freire, Sharon Welch, and Hilde Lindemann Nelson, this extended essay will be relevant to those responding to social suffering. The CD which accompanies this publication contains a selection of stories and songs from Ntaria/Hermannsburg as well as messages from Chile, Norway, and the USA.

| | Description:
Available only to readers in Australia and New Zealand. This groundbreaking book, which introduced 'narrative ideas' to the therapy world, presents a respectful, often playful approach to serious problems, with groundbreaking theory as a backdrop.

In this way narrative comes to play a central role in therapy. This book also contains delightful examples of a storied therapy.
