?This book is a testimony to the spirit of a community oftherapists in New Zealand who set about supporting each other inexplorations of the practice, ethics and politics of what has cometo be known as ?Narrative Therapy.? But more than this, itconstitutes a powerful invitation to us all to follow suit, to joinwith others in the generation of new options for action in thiswork. Inspired reading.? (Michael White, Dulwich Centre, Adelaide,Australia)

?A wonderful book! Readable and lucid, it clarifies narrativetherapy and its specifics for both the beginner and advancedpractitioner--and it is also theoretically powerful. I liked thescholarship, the energy, the practicality, and the awareness ofcomplex multicultural issues.? (Allen E. Ivey, distinguisheduniversity professor, school and counseling psychology program,University of Massachusetts)

?In this clearly written book, the focus is not on `experts'solving problems, it is on people becoming `consultants tothemselves', and dissolving their problems by discovering indialogue, the new and better, but previously unrecognizedpossibilities they already contain within themselves. An importantand useful book indeed.? (John Shotter, professor of interpersonalrelations, Department of Communication, University of NewHampshire)
