Narrative Therapy is a meaningful contribution to a Canadian book market lacking in clinical literature for social workers'áááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááááùCANADIAN ASSOCIATION OF SOCIAL WORKERSNarrative Therapy:áMaking Meaning, Making Livesáoffers a comprehensive introduction to and critique of narrative therapy and its theories. This edited volume introduces students to the history and theory of narrative therapy. Authors Catrina Brown and Tod Augusta-Scott situate this approach to theory and practice within the context of various feminist, post-modern and critical theories. Through the presentation of case studies, Narrative Therapy: Making Meaning, Making Livesáshows how this narrative-oriented theory can be applied in the client-therapist experience. Many important therapeutic situations (abuse, addictions, eating disorders, and more) are addressed from the narrative perspective.áá Rooted in social constructionism, and emerging initially from family therapy, narrative therapy emphasizes the idea that we live storied lives. Within this approach, the editors and contributors seek to show how we make sense of our lives and experiences by ascribing meaning through stories which themselves arise within social conversations and culturally available discourses. Our stories donÆt simply represent us or mirror lived events; they actually constitute usùshaping our lives as well as our relationships.áááNarrative Therapyáwill be a valuable supplemental textbookáfor theory and practice courses in departments of Counseling and Psychotherapy and of Social Work as well as for courses in Gender and Women Studies.á
