Narrative Practice and Exotic Lives: Resurrecting Diversity in Everyday Life

by Michael White

Are youIn this book, amusing and powerfully moving transcripts of therapeutic conversations sit alongside wide-ranging explorations and explanations of narrative practice.The papers in this book describe an approach to therapeutic enquiry that contributes to people finding themselves interested in novel understandings of the events of their lives, curious about aspects of their lives that had been forsaken, fascinated with neglected territories of their identities, and at times, awed by their own responses to the predicaments of their existence.It is an approach that enables the identification of ‘extraordinary worlds’ and assists in the resurrection of diversity in everyday life.Michael White was co-director of Dulwich Centre and one of the founders of what has come to be known as narrative therapy.
