I found this particularly refreshing, as so much that is written in the name of narrative therapy doesn′t at all fit with my understanding of its philosophical, ethical and political considerations. He has succeeded in representing his own voice in this, which really makes for engaging reading and accessibility of these ideas′ - Michael White    `This is a fascinating and important book′ - John McLeod      `A book which is refreshing, thoughtful and modest in its outlook...there is something in this book for most of us′ - The New Therapist      `Martin Payne accomplishes more than an introduction to the ideas and practices behind Narrative Therapy. He achieves a simple clarity of expression without undermining the complexity of some of the ideas.... This book is wide-ranging, accessible and current′ - The Journal of Family Therapy      Narrative therapy provides exciting alternatives for counsellors seeking new ways of working. The author of this absorbing introduction demonstrates that ideas and methods developed by influential family therapists Michael White and David Epston are equally appropriate for work with individuals and couples.      Martin Payne overviews narrative therapy practices, with vivid illustrations from transcripts of sessions, and describes the post-structuralist philosophical assumptions which inform narrative therapy. Many assumptions in traditional counselling are re-examined, and the reader is invited to consider the extent to which values and methods of narrative therapy might resonate with, enrich or challenge their existing approach. The book ends with an experiential exercise in narrative co-supervision.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49898047111441,"sku":"GOR007787579","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50130685853969,"sku":"GOR010756265","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ VERY_GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50962261704977,"sku":"CIN0761957839VG","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":52107833671953,"sku":"GOR001868221","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":53615764078865,"sku":"CIN0761957839G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0761957839.jpg?v=1751296315"},{"product_id":"scusa-kitten-who-wouldn-t-purr-book-martin-payne-9780813635781","title":"Scusa Kitten Who Wouldn, T Purr","description":null,"brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"US \/ GOOD \/ SBYB","offer_id":50099691618577,"sku":"CIN0813635780G","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/0813635780.jpg?v=1750786058"},{"product_id":"narrative-therapy-book-martin-payne-9781412920124","title":"Narrative Therapy","description":"`A thought provoking and interesting book that will be of interest to nurses and others supporting patients′ - Accident and Emergency Nursing    `It is a relevant and timely book that will remind therapists of the importance of the telling of client′s stories as an important component of the therapeutic process. Whatever approach we use, the client′s story will be a part of what we work with, so a sophisticated questioning of what ′stories\/narratives′ are will benefit our work. This book is a good starting point for such an exploration. It′s an interesting book that will appeal to counsellors ready to challenge or add to their existing approach′ - Therapy Today      Narrative Therapy: An Introduction for Counsellors, Second Edition, offers a clear and concise overview of this way of working without oversimplifying its theoretical underpinnings and practices.      Narrative therapy places peoples′ accounts of their lives and relationships at the heart of the therapeutic process. Its main premise is that the telling and re-telling of experience by means of guided questioning can facilitate changed, more realistic perspectives, and open up possibilities for the person seeking assistance to position him- or herself more helpfully in relation to the issues brought to therapy.      Drawing on the ideas of Michael White and David Epston, this fully revised, extended and updated second edition incorporates recent developments in narrative theory and practice, and introduces developments initiated by other narrative therapists worldwide. New material has been added around counselling for post-traumatic reactions, couples conflict and a sense of personal failure.      The book is illustrated with extensive examples of practice with individuals and couples. It is ideal for anyone on training courses in narrative therapy, and also for counsellors who wish to consider common ground between narrative ideas and their current approach.      Martin Payne is an independent therapist and trainer in Norwich, UK.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52408198988049,"sku":"NLS9781412920124","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":53014621946129,"sku":"NIN9781412920124","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9781412920124.jpg?v=1758774303"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/collections\/author-books-by-martin-payne.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
