Four-Day Summer Narrative Intensive
Putting Narrative Ideas into Practice
Ruth Pluznick and Angel Yuen have been facilitating their narrative summer intensive program now for the past few years. Each year feedback from participants locally and abroad indicated a positive and rich narrative learning experience. In fact many expressed a wish for the program to be longer and therefore the NTC is pleased to extend this year’s summer intensive program to four full days.
This practice-based intensive is designed to immerse practitioners in narrative ideas. The maps of narrative therapy will assist in guiding the learning including: externalizing and statement of position, re-authoring conversations and re-membering maps. The intensive will facilitate narrative experience by creating opportunities to practice the ideas throughout the four days. The emphasis includes:
· thinking in terms of the narrative metaphor · situating problems in the broader contexts of various power relations · engaging in conversations that externalize problems, re-member significant figures in people’s lives, and move Problem stories to Preferred stories · asking questions to generate experience · developing rich alternative story development in both therapy and community contexts (including the linking of lives through collective practices)
This summer intensive program will be suitable as a rich introduction for those who are new to narrative ideas, or as an extension of current practice using experiential exercises, case examples, didactic and live interview and opportunity for outsider witness reflections.
