Narrative Praxis by Arist von Schlippe

What is meant by narrative therapy and further narrative practice? What conceptual and methodological advancements and new developments has it experienced in recent years? How can narrative work be done in a wide variety of contexts and settings, what impulses for cross-school, advisory and therapeutic activities result from this? This comprehensive handbook provides well-founded and multifaceted information about terminology and theoretical backgrounds, but above all about the practice of narrative procedures in psychosocial and organizational work areas. Fed from the narrative therapy of White and Epston, the philosophy of Deleuze and Braidotti and other sources, more than 45 authors of national and international standing contribute a wide range of new creative approaches, underpin narrative understanding with theoretical basic texts, present current Results of narrative research and give space to socially critical perspectives. In times of constant socio-political change, this handbook opens up a multitude of new possibilities for thinking and acting for those working in therapy, counseling and science.
