John Launer

Narrative-Based Practice in Health and Social Care

Conversations Inviting Change

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This text outlines a vision of how witnessing narratives, paying attention to them, and developing an ability to question them creatively, can make the person's emerging story the central focus of health and social care, and of healing. Giving an account of the practical application of ideas and skills from contemporary narrative studies to health and social care, the book promotes narrative-based practice in everyday encounters with patients and clients, as well as supervision and management, and presents an established model of interactional skills. It is written for students and practitioners across a broad range of professions in primary and secondary health care, and social care.
