In this subject, students acquire skills in engaging with ten key practice maps of narrative therapy (externalising, re-authoring, re-membering, definitional ceremony, documentation, absent but implicit, failure conversations map, responding to trauma, engagement with folk cultural metaphors [tree of life/team of life/kite of life], enabling contribution/social action). They also develop skills in analysing and evaluating the effects of their use of these maps of practice and in proposing alternative questions/lines of enquiry in therapeutic and/or collective practice.
Intended learning outcomes
Students who complete this subject should be able to:
- Employ narrative conversational skills in relation to key practice maps in skills based exercises and in one’s own local context.
- Develop reflexive position in relation to one’s own practice to enable micro-analysis and questioning of one’s own use of narrative practices and to distinguish and differentiate where one’s own practice is located on various maps of narrative practice.
- Compare and evaluate the questions one used in practice and propose alternative / supplementary questions and/or lines of enquiry to those currently used.
