So You Want to Do Narrative Therapy? Letters to an Aspiring Narrative Therapist

"In this book, the authors offer a truly unique journey into the world of narrative therapy. Through a series of letters from a supervisor to a student, this book provides an intimate and addressive approach to learning the art of narrative therapy. This book is not a manual but a new pedagogical practice that sits confidently within the lineage of narrative practice while moving it forward. So You Want To Do Narrative Therapy? is a beacon of hope for those seeking to embrace a more artful, story-based approach to therapy that counters the obstacles shaped by the influence of neoliberal ideologies, reminding us throughout that the therapy room can be a potent site of political activism and poetic expression. Ultimately, I found myself happy to have several of my own narrative therapy assumptions and notions challenged. Always a good sign."

"This is the book I so desperately needed when I was first learning narrative therapy but could never seem to find. It is as accessible as it is beautiful. It will inspire both those new to narrative therapy and those who have been practicing for many years. The combination of letters, stories, transcripts, and poetry makes for such an immersive reading experience that I delayed finishing the book because I didn't want it to end. I cannot wait to use this book in my own teaching and practice."
