Calling on Imagination for Help. Children's Narrative Therapy

Calling on Imagination for Help. Children's Narrative Therapy

New

What if imagination can be as important and necessary a condition for a therapeutic meeting as, say, establishing a safe atmosphere? What if we assume that the resource of imagination is so great that it can help in resolving a... wide variety of problems?
Authors, renowned narrative therapists, suggest looking at problem-solving through the lens of a creative approach, primarily relying on the abilities, values, and skills of the child themselves, rather than those of their parents or the therapist. The child thus becomes the hero of the story being created, a hero in the literal sense - their virtues and unique qualities are sufficient to confront a treacherous and dangerous problem.
The book discusses key points of narrative theory, stages and ways of constructing a sufficiently convincing, intriguing story, life hacks, and the peculiarities of working with various issues.
The book will be useful for psychologists, psychotherapists, counselors, as well as anyone who wants to peek into the inner world of a child and be inspired by it.
