Narratives are grounded in everyday life, from our conversations to films to books. We all create and tell stories, and we listen to other people's stories. Using narrative approaches is both meaningful to people and clinically effective. This book provides a broad-ranging introduction to narrative psychology and applies narrative to professional contexts to help people develop efficient techniques to use in practical situations, including clinical and occupational psychology. It offers a rationale for the use of narrative approaches, translating core research into accessible techniques, and illustrates these approaches with practical examples across a range of areas. In turn, it details how practitioners can help people change or develop their narratives to enable them to live their lives more effectively.
