Key concepts and activities covered and used during sessions include:
1. Externalization of the Problem: Where the Person is not the problem - the problem is the problem
2. Re-authoring identity of the individual
3. working with Maps of Narrative Practices including Landscape of Action and Landscape of Identity
4. Re-membering through developing the idea that identity is shaped by social connections and the "Club of Life"
5. Use of case studies and other practical examples
6. Outsider witnesses in-session practice
7. Definitional Ceremonies
8. Personal Agency discussed
9. Gender issues discussed
10. Addressing trauma situations with narrative therapy
11. Absent but implicit concept discussed and used - enquiring into stories of the self beyond the problem saturated story of the individual
