Course Brief
Based on the work of Michael White and David Epston, Narrative Therapy involves understanding the stories of people’s lives and re-authoring their stories collaboratively between the therapist and the people whose lives are being discussed. Are you looking for hopeful, effective and respectful ways of working with those who have mental health problems?
