Re-Imagining Therapy - Living Conversations and Relational Knowing

Klappentext Re-imagining Therapy explores the benefits to therapeutic practice of paying attention to how people relate to and with language - how ways of talking support different kinds of relationships and experiences. The authors draw on social constructionist! dialogic! narrative and solution-oriented approaches to argue that `detachment' and `objectivity' have impoverished our ways of understanding life and language. They focus on words and language as tools! gestures and actions through which therapy can work to build a sense of promise and trust. Zusammenfassung The text draws upon social constructionist! dialogic! narrative and solution-focused approaches to argue that "detachment" and "objectivity" have impoverished our ways of understanding life and language and that therapy should be built on a sense of promise and trust from language and gestures.
