The Theory of Narrative Therapy and the Related Social Work Practice
Journal of Social Work, 2009Co-Authors: Liu WeiAbstract:As one of the new paradigm of contemporary social work theories, Narrative Therapy has become more popular in the social work practice, and social constructivism is seem as the main theoretical basis. It is claimed by Social constructivism that there are multiple realities around everyone; however, the way in what people think about them is the most important. Under the guidance of this theory, people are asked to deconstruct the reality of their lives and the meaning of relationships, and point out the differences between the reality and internal self-story, so that we can help people to solve the problems. In this paper, the origins of the theory of Narrative Therapy are reviewed firstly. We also summarize the main views of Narrative Therapy theory, and describe their social work practice among youth and family social work, then we will make the conclusion.

evaluating interest in Narrative Therapy for decision making about pectus excavatum treatment
Interactive Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, 2018Co-Authors: Davide Ticchi, Robert S Eisinger, Hans K Pilegaard, Michele Torre, Sergio B Sesia, Maurizio Infante, Emanuele Voulaz, Mauricio Arce Quesada, Merike SisaskAbstract:OBJECTIVES The decision to proceed with surgical treatment for pectus excavatum (PE) is rarely clear-cut. Patients interested in treatment are referred for evaluation by numerous different specialists, but psychosocial counselling is currently not included in this process. Our objective was to assess whether PE patients would be interested in formal assistance with the decision-making process surrounding PE surgery using Narrative Therapy principles. METHODS Ninety-seven untreated PE patients at 5 different institutions in 4 countries completed a questionnaire consisting of 13 questions, with 3 questions specifically evaluating interest in Narrative Therapy. RESULTS Eighty-two percent of participants were interested in Narrative Therapy to assist with the decision-making process surrounding PE surgery. Individuals most interested in Narrative Therapy tend to be more interested in correction (P < 0.05) to improve the way they feel about their body (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The majority of PE patients are interested in Narrative Therapy to aid the decision-making process about treatment. We propose that Narrative Therapy should be offered to PE patients during the treatment evaluation process to address the psychosocial difficulties associated with PE and the surgical decision-making process overall. Future studies should assess the effectiveness of this interdisciplinary model.

A pilot examination of the use of Narrative Therapy with individuals diagnosed with PTSD.
Journal of traumatic stress, 2014Co-Authors: Christopher R. Erbes, John R. Stillman, Elizabeth Wieling, Walter Bera, Jennie LeskelaAbstract:Narrative Therapy is a postmodern, collaborative Therapy approach based on the elaboration of personal Narratives for lived experiences. Many aspects of Narrative Therapy suggest it may have great potential for helping people who are negatively affected by traumatic experiences, including those diagnosed with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The potential notwithstanding, Narrative Therapy is relatively untested in any population, and has yet to receive empirical support for treatment among survivors of trauma. A pilot investigation of the use of Narrative Therapy with 14 veterans with a diagnosis of PTSD (11 treatment completers) is described. Participants completed structured diagnostic interviews and self-report assessments of symptoms prior to and following 11 to 12 sessions of Narrative Therapy. After treatment, 3 of 11 treatment completers no longer met criteria for PTSD and 7 of 11 had clinically significant decreases in PTSD symptoms as measured by the Clinician Administered PTSD Scale. Pre- to posttreatment effect sizes on outcomes ranged from 0.57 to 0.88. These preliminary results, in conjunction with low rates of treatment dropout (21.4%) and a high level of reported satisfaction with the treatment, suggest that further study of Narrative Therapy is warranted as a potential alternative to existing treatments for PTSD.
