Summary
All forms of talking therapy are to some extent narrative therapy. Therapy is about changing a person's story from something negative to something more positive. Narrative therapy rejects classification systems of disorders, instead focusing on the unique problems experienced by individuals, and the unique ways in which they can deal with their problems, or unique outcomes. There are a number of key elements but they involve the process from the story that highlights the problem through changing that story to develop a more effective story. In particular, there are three key stages: deconstructing dominant problematic stories, re-authoring dominant stories and remembering conversations.
