Narrative Therapy Questions
Provide a brief narrative review of the following narrative therapy techniques and their implications in this
model of therapy:
Externalizing the problem.
Identifying the effects of the problem over her life.
Mapping unique outcomes, or times that she had influence over the problem.
Using Case Study: Narrative Therapy (linked in Resources), formulate questions that demonstrate the use of
the techniques when working with the cases presenting issues.
Then, create a dialogue between the therapist and client (or clients) by imagining the client's or clients'
response to the questions. Include the dialogue you created, which comprises all questions and responses.
Note: Include headings to delineate where the respective techniques are being best demonstrated in the
dialogue. Keep in mind that some concepts or techniques do not begin and end with a section of dialogue but
are pervasive throughout the therapeutic process.
Reflect on the concepts you identified and your experience while viewing the video in Unit 7 Study,
Reauthoring Through Stories of Caring (linked in Resources). Consider the following:
Aspects of their exploration that stand out to you as being unique to the typical experiences of the brother and
sister. How do you see this as beneficial for them?
How did the video impact your understanding of the model and concepts?
Response Guidelines
Read the posts of other learners and respond to at least two. Critique the learner's questions and dialogue, and
comment on what he or she chose to externalize. How are the learner's choices similar to or different from your
own?
