    01-Payne-3351-Introduction.qxd 11/8/2005 6:48 PM Page 1 Introduction Some years ago I was part-way through a diploma in counselling course based on person-centred approaches which also included a wide-ranging introduction to other individual counselling psychologies and methods. I was also informally learning a little about family therapy, as my partner Mary Wilkinson was attend- ing a diploma course in systemic therapy at a different training institution. I was struck by how little overlap there was in our recommended reading material and in the ideas and practices of these two courses, and this was puzzling as family therapy ideas seemed exciting and stimulating. I particularly liked the idea of a person’s family and social context being taken into account in the definitions of problems and the processes of therapy. I began to wonder whether ideas and prac- tices from family therapy might be appropriate in working with individuals. I happened to open one of Mary’s books, by a family therapist I’d never heard of, and came across this description of part of a session with a 12-year-old boy and his parents: John suddenly remarked with surprise,‘This is the first time a definite way of defeat- ing my fears has come up’ (although he had, in the past, been encouraged on many occasions to stop his obsessive-compulsive behaviour). He now ‘knew’ the solution was to stop feeding the fierce friends of the fears. John and Mrs Walker began sob- bing quietly with what I suspected was relief.

  • Learning How to Counter-Story in Narrative Therapy (With David Epston and Wilbur the Warrior) Kay M
    Journal of Systemic Therapies, Vol. 35, No. 4, 2016, pp. 58–71 LEARNING HOW TO COUNTER-STORY IN NARRATIVE THERAPY (WITH DAVID EPSTON AND WILBUR THE WARRIOR) KAY M. INGAMELLS Private Practice, Auckland, New Zealand This article is designed to be read alongside its companion article: “Wilbur the Worrier Becomes Wilbur the Warrior: A Teaching Story for Narrative Family Therapists” (this issue, pp. 43–57), a story from my practice about an 8-year- old boy with anorexia and anxiety. This article identifies and teaches narrative family therapy practices illustrated in the companion story. Full unabridged versions of both this article and the companion article can be found at www. narrativeapproaches.com and at www.yourstory.org.nz. There are three stories behind the story of Wilbur the Warrior (see “Wilbur the Worrier Becomes Wilbur the Warrior: A Teaching Story for Narrative Family Thera- pists,” this issue, pp. 43–57). The first is the story of my apprenticeship to David Epston, the inventor of narrative therapy in partnership with Michael White. The second is the tale of how David Epston invented the practices I bring to bear in my conversations. Both of these stories will be told elsewhere. This article tells the third story, the “making of Wilbur the Warrior,” with the theme of one narrative practice in particular: the practice of counter-storying.1 This article is neither a description of how to do narrative therapy nor a description of how to practice David Epston’s narrative therapy. It offers a behind-the-scenes view of one version of narrative therapy with one family.

  • David Epston & Stephen Madigan
    1 David Epston & Stephen Madigan (1995). Below is a part of a paper and a version of the paper we published in The Reflecting Team in Action, Guilford Publications.! Its title: !From "Spy-chiatric Gaze" to Communities of Concern: From Professional Monologue to Dialogue Neutral dictionary definitions of the words of a language ensure their common features and guarantee that all speakers of a given language will understand one another, but the use of words in live speech communication is always individual and contextual.! (Bakhtin, 1986, pp 88.) Therapy, like politics, has always rested on the construction and maintenance of social reality. Until recently, therapists practiced in accordance with a set of enduring or given "truths." Unfortunately, these "truths" acted to conceal and support our monopolistic ambitions to control information on what constitutes right and wrong, normal and abnormal. The purpose of this chapter is to argue for "alternative knowledges" (Foucault, 1980) that derive from those populations most excluded from power (e.g., inmates, psychiatric residents etc). Our intent is to widen the frame of certain therapeutic traditions regarding the utilization of client knowledges and to increase the possibilities of utilizing these knowledges. Our chapter proposes "communities of concern" as a means of re-visioning our relationships with people who seek our help. We substitute such "communities" for the exclusionary professional other and the degrading practices that seem associated. From our point of view, reflecting team practice (Andersen, 1987; Lax, 1991; Madigan, 1992a; White, 1995) exemplifies such communities of concern. Our hope in this chapter is to extend the reflecting team idea into areas of (co)research and political action.

  • Enduring Anorexia Draft Thesis 26 February 2020
    Enduring anorexia: A multi-storied counter document of living and coping with anorexia over time Kristina Lainson ORCID: 0000-0002-5208-810X Submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements of the degree Doctor of Philosophy March 2020 Department of Social Work, Melbourne School of Health Sciences Faculty of Medicine, Dentistry and Health Sciences University of Melbourne Abstract It has been well-documented that anorexia (nervosa) often endures in people’s lives, yet very limited research attention has been given to the perspectives of adults who have lived with its influence and effects over time. What studies do exist have engaged participation through specialist services, potentially skewing representation, and participants’ experiences, knowledge and capabilities have tended to either go unrecorded or else are dominated by bleak narratives and/or deficit-based portrayals written from clinical perspectives. The Enduring anorexia project addresses these issues by inviting more inclusive participation via social media and by employing the theoretical lens of narrative practice. This hopeful lens centres lived experience perspectives, acknowledges personal agency and seeks entry points into alternative storylines of preferred identity that can lead to new possibilities and understandings. Since social workers Michael White and David Epston first co-created narrative practice as a respectful and non-blaming approach to counselling and community work that recognises people as separate to problems and intentional in responding to difficulties, the field has been characterised by innovation and diverse application. The Enduring anorexia project extends this application, innovation and practice stance into conducting academic research in the realms of longer-term experience of living and coping with anorexia, demonstrating what opportunities arise as a consequence.

    Narrative Poetics of Resistance: Towards An Aesthetics of Engagement By Colin James Sanders Narrative Poetics of Resistance: Towards An Aesthetics of Engagement Proefschrift ter verkrijging van de graad van doctor aan Tilburg University op gezag van de rector magnificus, prof. dr. Ph. Eijlander, in het openbaar te verdedigen ten overstaan van een door het college voor promoties aangewezen commissie in de Ruth First zaal van de Universiteit op maandag 15 september 2014 om 16.15 uur door Colin James Sanders geboren op 5 mei 1954 te Winnipeg, Canada Promotores: prof. dr. Sheila McNamee prof. dr. John B. Rijsman Overige leden van de promotiecommissie: prof. dr. H. Anderson prof. dr. J. Chang dr. J. Goedee dr. O. Ness Abstract My dissertation describes the multiple philosophical, theological and theoretical influences, relationships, and enchantments which ultimately inspired the co-creation of innovative, non- traditional, practices within a residential program for young persons’ struggling with substance use dilemmas in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, known as Peak House. These influences, relationships and enchantments additionally, over the course of about forty-five years, generalize and migrate into all of my therapeutic and pedagogical, collaborative and relational practices. Over time, I came to refer to my practice as a poetics of resistance (Sanders, 1999, 2007) and have referred to the overall aesthetics of such a practice as being a narrative poetics, largely in recognition of the considerable influence of ideas flowing from Michael White and David Epston, beginning with their first publications (White & Epston, 1989, 1990), and continuing to this day. Keywords: Harlene Anderson; Gregory Bateson; David Epston; Michel Foucault; Emmanuel Levinas; Sheila McNamee; Michael White; narrative therapy, collaborative practices; relational practices; youth residential substance use programs; narrative poetics; poetics of resistance; social construction; the sacred; social justice.

  • David Epston
    A response from David Epston to Margarita Tarragona’s Positive Psychology and Narrative Practices For more information see: ‘Friday Afternoon at Dulwich Centre’ www.narrativetherapyonline.com My Response to Margarita’s ‘Friday Afternoon’ David Epston Margarita, when I heard about your Friday Afternoon presentation and learned of its contents and provocative title, I couldn't wait to view it. Also I knew I would relish hearing your voice again as I recall depending on you and your voice when you were one of the principal translators at the International Narrative Therapy and Community Work Conference in Oaxaca in 2004 … and how your voice distilled, to my ears, such a beautiful and musical English version of your countrywoman/man's Spanish. I recall too having so many wonderful, lively and very scholarly debates and conversations with Neca, Sylvia, Elena and Nurit from Grupos Campos Eliseos in Mexico, Chicago, Havana, and elsewhere, after workshops and plenary addresses. If you ever want a spirited and serious conversation of 'ideas', I recommend any of the abovementioned to you. But why couldn't I wait to see and respond to your Friday Afternoon presentation? Some of my anticipation had to do, I suspect, with Cheryl White's requests to me that we ‘tell the history’ of Narrative Therapy first to a Dulwich Centre Summer School in Adelaide in late 2009 and then as a plenary address at the 10th International Narrative Therapy and Community Work Conference in Salvador, Brazil. And perhaps too, preparing the 'Introduction' to Michael White’s ‘posthumous unpublished papers/addresses’ that were edited by David Denborough and published by W.W.
