Drawing on the perspective of narrative constructivism, this book examines how to effectively integrate re-storying in the therapeutic process.

The stories we tell about ourselves and others shape our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. This book offers guidance for therapists across diverse theoretical orientations, demonstrating how to help clients to re-story experiences of stress and trauma, anger and aggression, addiction, and loss and grief to create better stories that will help to promote healing, health, and inner peace. It provides mental health practitioners with multiple strategies to enhance clients’ recovery and resilience. Clinical examples, checklists, and a case conceptualization model support learning and practical application.

Using Narrative Constructivism in Psychotherapy will appeal to psychologists, therapists, social workers, counselors, and graduate students in these disciplines.
