A third edition of this classic guide to understanding narrative therapy.

Narrative therapy is founded on the idea that the mental health issues we bring to therapy are not restricted to or located solely within ourselves. We experience ourselves as deeply relational (not individual), and we are shaped by and imbedded within prevailing historical and socio-economic contexts, dominant cultural understandings, and normative expectations of what constitutes a 'healthy' individual.

This third edition of Narrative Therapy introduces psychologists, next generation practitioners, and veteran narrative therapists to a broad range of foundational ideas alongside the latest state-of-the-art narrative theoretical ideas and practices. The book provides a wide range of up-close demonstrations, session transcripts, remarkable therapeutic questions, and numerous updated clinical examples to provide a coherent balance between narrative therapy's theoretical complexities, and the nuts-and-bolts of therapeutic practice. Readers receive step-by-step guidance in:
  • Relational responses to trauma, abuse, and the body
  • Working with highly conflicted couple relationships
  • Narrative practice and psychedelic medicines
  • Updated relational practice approaches to grief, loss, and death
  • Collective ethics for suicide prevention
  • Disordered eating
  • New innovations in therapeutic letter writing
  • Gender violence and complex trauma
  • Narrative therapy with trans youth and families
  • Narrative therapy with children and families
