Abstract:
Contemporary theatre has crossed boldly into therapeutic terrain and is now the site of radical self-exposure. The recent and expanding use of people’s personal stories in the theatre has prompted the need for a robust framework for safe, ethical, flexible and intentional practice by theatre makers. Such a framework is needed due to the risks inherent in putting people’s private lives on the stage, particularly when their stories focus on unresolved difficulties and cross into therapeutic terrain. With this ethical and practical imperative in mind, and in order to create a broader spectrum of ethical risk-taking where practitioners can negotiate blurred boundaries in safe and creative ways, this study draws on relevant therapeutic theory and practice to re-connect therapy and theatre and promote best practice in the theatre of personal stories. In order to promote best practice in the theatre of personal stories (a term I will use to cover the myriad forms of theatre that make use of people’s personal stories), I describe a new framework that synthesises theory and practice from the fields of psychodrama, attachment narrative therapy, and theatre and performance studies. The benefits of this integrative framework for the theatre practitioner are that it promotes safer, more ethical and purposeful practice with personal stories, and encourages more confident and creative artistic expression. The framework provides these benefits because it offers a structured model for decision-making by theatre practitioners who work with personal stories, and suggests ways that the practitioner can explore fresh artistic possibilities with clear intentions and confidence about the boundaries and ethics of the work. The integrated framework has been developed through the grounded theory process of reflective inquiry, using in particular the models of action research, the Kolb experiential learning cycle and applied phronesis. The framework has four elements, which are explored respectively in chapters one to four: 1) History: understanding the roots of the theatre of personal stories in traditions of art, oral history, social activism, theatre and therapy; 2) Ethics: incorporating wide-ranging ethical issues inherent in staging personal stories; 3) Praxis: structuring participatory theatre processes to regulate the level of personal disclosure among participants (a model for structuring practice and regulating personal disclosure is offered — called the Drama Spiral); and 4) Intentions: working with a clear focus on specific intentions — especially bio-psycho-social integration — when working with personal stories. The study concludes, in chapter five, with a critical analysis of two exemplars of practice, examined through the lens of the Drama Spiral.

Abstract:
This qualitative study assesses the use of narrative therapy with self-cutting adolescents. The researcher, formally trained in narrative therapy, delivered a six to eight week narrative intervention separately to two self-cutting adolescent girls referred by their schools to an Educational Psychology Service. The study addressed four research questions. Pre- and post intervention self-report measures and parental reports were used to investigate research question no. 1: 'What effect does narrative therapy have upon the mental health of self-cutting adolescents?' Pre- and post-intervention narrative assessment interviews, and information from the intervention session transcripts, were used to compare the adolescents' pre- and post- intervention 'self-stories' and address research question no. 2: 'How does narrative therapy affect the self-stories of self-cutting adolescents?' The adolescents' views of the helpfulness, or otherwise, of several narrative practices, including outsider witness groups, were elicited using a post-intervention semi-structured interview and questionnaire. Narrative processes were explored and the adolescents' responses mapped using maps of narrative practice (White, 2007) to address research question no. 3: 'What narrative therapy practices do self-cutting adolescents consider to be helpful?' The study also examined how the researcher, working as an EP, used narrative therapy. This information was used to address research question no. 4: 'How might EPs use narrative therapy in their work?' The study findings indicated that narrative therapy may be a promising intervention for improving the mental health and emotional well being of self-cutting adolescents. A model for the use of narrative therapy by EPs is proposed.

Abstract:
The history of transgender identity is inextricable from the mental health industry. Since the late 1970's transgender people have required permission from mental health professionals to make medical modifications to their sex characteristics. During the time of this research, it was difficult for transgender individuals to receive the hormones or surgeries they desire without first being diagnosed with Gender Identity Disorder (GID). This study applies labeling theory to the label of GID. Labeling theory poses that if an individual is labeled with a mental illness, they will either reject or accept the label. Acceptance of the mentally ill label will cause the individual to adopt characteristics expected of the label. The intent of this study is to examine the relationship between mental health therapy and the formation of transgender identities. Utilizing labeling theory, it analyzes whether or not transgender participants of this study accepted or rejected the mental illness label of GID. It was originally posed that if transgender individuals accepted the label of GID, they would experience a shift in their gender identity. However, the overwhelming majority of the twelve participants interviewed rejected the label of GID. Even though most participants rejected the GID label, many still saw a shift in gender identity while attending therapy. This thesis proposes that there may be a link between a transgender person’s reason for entering therapy and identity shift. Those who felt obligated to go to therapy for the sole reason of gaining permission to change their sex characteristics saw no change in identity. However, those who wanted help in exploring their gender with a therapist saw identity changes while in therapy.

Abstract:
A single case study using a narrative approach to therapy was undertaken to examine the process and outcomes of therapy with a case of a 12 year old boy who presented with what could be described as an "anxiety disorder". The results were contrasted with the possible process and outcomes should a cognitive-behavioural approach have been used. This aspect of the Study was necessarily a speculative endeavour. Specific behaviours of the client and significant others were measured pre, post and followup. Positive changes occurred in the following behaviours: absence from school, reports of victimization, positive and negative self statements and statements by significant others.

Abstract:
This exegesis is the companion to the novel Every Breath You Take. It focuses on two neglected aspects of domestic violence: coercive control, and collusion – being the ways in which contemporary sociocultural stories contribute to the maintenance of domestic violence. This thesis draws on theory from feminism, critical studies on men, queer studies, sociology, literary and cultural studies. It nevertheless owes its greatest theoretical debt to Narrative Therapy, a postmodern intervention cofounded by Michael White (Australia) and David Epston (New Zealand). The exegesis describes the accompanying novel, Every Breath You Take, as arising from a critique of contemporary portrayals of domestic violence in literature and the media. Persistent stereotypes are contrasted with work in the field, notably Johnson’s typologies (2008) and the Duluth Model, a framework famous for the development and use of the ‘power and control’ wheel. Demonstrating application of the practices of Narrative Therapy as both guiding paradigm and writing methodology, the exegesis describes how and why the novel, Every Breath You Take, focuses on coercive control and the colluding stories that support its maintenance.

Resumo: Esta tese tem como principal objetivo apresentar e discutir o discurso narrativo oral - que se revelou como aquele que mais resiste nas afasias - como (i) um espaço privilegiado para a análise dos impactos das afasias na linguagem dos sujeitos tanto no nível do sistema linguístico - para avaliar, por exemplo, as dificuldades de combinação e seleção de elementos (fonético-fonológicos, sintáticos e semântico-lexicais) - como aspectos pragmáticos e discursivos; (ii) um contexto no qual se pode observar e analisar as soluções criativas encontradas pelos afásicos para driblar suas dificuldades e (iii) um espaço para o trabalho de reorganização linguístico/cognitiva no acompanhamento terapêutico. A narrativa, dessa forma, pode ser compreendida também como uma metodologia que possibilita eliciar dados singulares, uma vez que são produzidos em situações efetivas de uso da linguagem. Para o desenvolvimento do trabalho, foram selecionados onze episódios narrativos, produzidos dialogicamente entre sujeitos afásicos e não-afásicos em sessões coletivas e individuais do Grupo III do Centro de Convivência de Afásicos (CCA), vídeo-gravados e posteriormente transcritos e analisados segundo metodologia qualitativa, de cunho indiciário (cf. GINZBURG, 1986/1989). Todos os sujeitos afásicos que participaram desta pesquisa produziram narrativas, mesmo aqueles com afasias consideradas graves do ponto de vista da produção. Buscamos analisar os elementos constitutivos de cada episódio narrativo considerando-se as categorias postuladas por Labov & Waletsky (1967) e mobilizando também conceitos bakhtinianos para explicitar os processos que os afásicos percorrem para se aproximar de seu querer-dizer (como enunciado, acabamento, conclusibilidade etc), assim como questões relativas à ética que deve orientar os processos terapêuticos. As práticas sociais de linguagem, em situações de uso efetivo, possibilitam que o afásico exerça seu papel de sujeito ativo nos círculos sociais dos quais faz parte, mesmo nos casos considerados "graves". O trabalho orientado pelas teorias enunciativodiscursivas privilegia os sujeitos e não a sua patologia; dão vez e voz aos afásicos, demanda que o seu interlocutor se constitua verdadeiramente como "parceiro da comunicação verbal" (cf. BAKHTIN, 1979/2010), que se coloque disponível para a escuta (cf. PONZIO, 2010)
Abstract: The main goal of this thesis is to present and discuss the narrative discourse - which was found to be the most resistant in aphasia - as (i) a privileged locus for the analysis of its impact on language, either on the linguistic system (to evaluate, for instance, the difficulties of selection and combination of linguistic elements - phonetic/phonological, syntactic and lexical-semantic), as well as concerning pragmatic and discursive aspects; (ii) as a context in which one can observe and analyze the creative solutions found by the aphasics in order to face their difficulties; (iii) as a locus for the linguistic/cognitive reorganization during the therapeutic follow-up. Narrative discourse, this way, may be understood as a methodology which makes it possible to elicit singular data, once they are produced in effective use of language. To develop the work, eleven narrative episodes were selected, which were produced dialogically between aphasic and non-aphasic subjects during individual sessions and group meetings of Group III of Centro de Convivência de Afásicos (CCA). Data were videorecorded, afterwards transcribed and analyzed according to qualitative methodology, of evidentiary nature (cf. GINZBURG, 1986/1989). All the aphasic subjects who participated in this research produced narratives, even those that can be considered to have severe aphasia, from the perspective of production. We sought to analyze the constitutive elements of each narrative episode, taking into consideration the categories postulated by Labov & Waletsky (1967) and also mobilizing bakhtinian concepts to explicit the paths which aphasics follow in order to approach their speech-will, as well as questions concerning the ethics that must guide the therapeutic processes. The social practices, in situations of effective use of language, make it possible to the aphasics to play the role of active subjects in the social circles they participate, even in severe cases. The work guided by enunciative-discursive theories privileges the subjects, not pathologies; it gives voice to the aphasics (and restitutes them their turn); it demands that the interlocutor of the aphasic becomes truly the partner of the verbal communication (cf. BAKHTIN, 1979/2010); it demands that he (the partner) puts himself available to listen to the aphasic (cf. PONZIO, 2010)

Abstract:
The client of this case study was a twenty two year old female in her first year at university. The client had come into therapy because she had felt depressed, lonely and riddled with selfdoubt. The author used a Narrative Therapy approach with the client and was focussed on helping the client generate new meanings and stories that were more useful and empowering for the client. In this case study, the author was interested in exploring the process of change that the client underwent during the therapy process and he would rely on identifying innovative moments to track these changes. This interest informed the research question; what is the process of change in narrative therapy as tracked through the therapeutic dialogue? How does the change process in this case study track with the heuristic model of change put forward by Gonçalves and his colleagues? The author chose to use a pragmatic hermeneutic case study method in order to analyse the data and the results were organised into a coherent narrative. The data was collected from twenty two therapy sessions and these were grouped together into themes, namely a quick start, the beginning of change, thickening the innovative moments and lighting the fire. The results of this study reveal that despite being considered a good outcome case by the author, the process of change differed somewhat to that proposed by the heuristic model of change.

Alghamdi, Mohammed. "Developing effective narrative exposure therapy interventions for Saudi firefighters." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2015. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/29634/.

Full text
Abstract:
Firefighters have a high likelihood of being exposed to a variety of traumatic events. The psychological cost of this exposure may be an increased risk of long-term problems such as PTSD symptoms, depression and anxiety. Saudi firefighters in Makkah province are often exposed to elevated levels of potentially traumatising events through the course of their work which can affect them physically and psychologically. However, providing sufficient mental health professionals is difficult due to the absence of psychological trauma care in Saudi Arabia and Saudi culture associated with the psychological support. The aim of this thesis is to understanding the psychological impact of being a firefighter and seeing whether narrative exposure therapy (NET) is an effective treatment for traumatised Saudi firefighters. Three studies were conducted In order to achieve these aims. The first administered questionnaires to 200 Saudi firefighters; the second was a qualitative study comprising of semi-structure life story interviews with 9 traumatised Saudi firefighters, whilst the final randomized control trial (RCT) examined the effectiveness of NET with 34 Saudi firefighters with PTSD. A high prevalence rate of PTSD (57%), anxiety (44.4%), and depression (53.3%) symptoms with limited mental health support were reported. Single firefighters reported PTSD symptoms and the use of passive coping strategies more than the married firefighters. The results also revealed that marriage was associated with low levels of PTSD, while high levels of PTSD correlated with anxiety, depression, and with passive coping strategies. The qualitative study illustrated themes and subthemes reflected family life, education, experience of being firefighters, traumatic, coping strategies. Two narrative analysis cases presented with the life plot trend with the positive impact of the individual’s life story interview which inform the using of narrative technique in the intervention study. The RCT study demonstrated a significant reduction in PTSD, anxiety, and depression symptoms after 6 weeks, but this was not sustained at 3 and 6 months. The research provides evidence for the applicability and effectiveness of a narrative intervention for traumatised Saudi firefighters. It tried to facilitate the wider dissemination of psychological intervention to promote recovery from traumatic stress for the first responders. Four sessions might not give firefighters sufficient time to process all the relevant information, and they therefore reported an increase in PTSD symptoms in the follow-up time. It would be preferable for firefighters to receive two or three NET sessions after a 3 and/or 6-month follow-up. The findings help advance current knowledge in the management of PTSD among firefighters, in-depth understanding the psychological, coping, and cultural backgrounds, in developing countries, contribute to the validation of PTSD theories, and inform future research. The implications of developing a multi-factorial and holistic approach to the treatment of first responders’ traumas are presented and a case is made for the use of narrative methods in the treatment of complex trauma.

Full text
Abstract:
Section A is a review of the literature on psychological adjustment following stroke. Empirical research is critically reviewed with reference to two research questions: (1) What do we understand about adjustment following survival of stroke? (2) What psychosocial interventions have been used to support adjustment post-stroke and what are the outcomes? Theoretical models for adjustment to stroke are drawn upon to illuminate the findings. Gaps within the literature are discussed and future directions for research are suggested. Section B describes a study using mixed methods. The purpose of the study was to evaluate whether narrative group therapy could facilitate psychosocial adjustment in survivors of stroke, and to explore the impact of stroke on survivors’’ lives through their shared narratives. Methods: Ten participants took part in a six-week narrative group therapy intervention for stroke survivors. Quality of life, use of coping strategies and illness representations were measured pre- and post-intervention, and thematic analysis was conducted on the content of the intervention sessions. Results: There was no statistically significant change on the outcome measures post-intervention. However the inductive thematic analysis resulted in the identification of four master themes: ‘using the group’, ‘negative talk’, ‘positive talk’ and ‘relationships’. These themes, respectively, revealed that the social aspects of the group allowed comparing experiences and exchanging information; participants were able to discuss the perceived negative aspects of surviving a stroke; with support, participants could identify the adaptations and achievements made since the stroke; and how the stroke impacted on relationships between the survivor and the systems around them. Conclusion: The findings indicate that narrative therapy requires further evaluation in terms of facilitation of adjustment. However, the thematic analysis supports the utility of group discussions and the provision of information to stroke survivors and their carers, thus indicating potential development of psychoeducation group programmes, provisionally as part of a stepped care model.

Abstract:
Bibliography: leaves 67-69.
The Narrative Therapy approach has been developed in Australia, and is therefore refreshingly southern hemispheric in contrast to most psychological theories which have originated in northern hemisphere countries. However, its application has mostly been in first-world, white, middle- class, English-speaking contexts. Questions therefore arise as to the appropriateness and applicability of this approach with people from working-class, politically disempowered, and multi-language contexts. The context for this study is the broader African culture which has traditionally privileged the oral tradition in the sense of the shared telling of stories. A narrative or story approach to therapy recognises the client's story as a story and privileges the telling of it. The respect for the other and their story, implicit in the narrative approach, greatly facilitates cross-cultural exchange. This research illuminates the process and appropriateness of applying Narrative Therapy in order to facilitate the client's preferred, alternative story of her life and her relationships in a South African setting of racial, cultural and economic refraction and ,diversity. Light is shed on the cross-cultural sensitivity of the narrative approach and on restraints inherent in the author-therapist's and the client's contexts and in the site of study, namely a South African university. The story of co-authoring a client's life and relationships is presented via a qualitative, exploratory design and single case study methodology. Data was collected from the author- therapist's session notes and transcripts of audio tape recordings. Data processing analysis and interpretation were informed by the characteristics and concepts of Narrative Therapy theory. Summarizing statements and recommendations suggest modifications to and extensions of the Narrative Therapy approach in the specified context. These include suggestions for cross-cultural training in the context of peer-group supervision, generation of a thesaurus of modified questions by practitioners for use in multi-language settings, and further research with regard to application of the narrative approach to groups and families in settings which are similar to that of this study. Exchange across the spectrum of human sciences and social services is recommended to enlighten and enliven the narrative conversation in South Africa in order to move forward with regard to empowering and just practices.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Narrative conflict coaching is a counseling technique which focuses on separating clients from their problems and encouraging them to see their lives and futures from new perspectives. It has been used in a variety of arenas and is consistent with other practices within the field of narrative conflict resolution, such as narrative mediation. In this project I utilized qualitative research methods to analyze the immediate effectiveness of conflict coaching questioning techniques within the setting of a counseling conversation. The analysis focuses on the detail of the process of narrative conflict coaching more than on the final outcomes. The data was collected through two different conflict coaching conversations, one of which was about a conflict in a work context and one in a family context. The conversational data collected was compared with a set of detailed guidelines for narrative conflict coaching specified by Dr. John Winslade and the question that was asked was whether the conflict coaching process corresponded with these guidelines. The data confirmed that this was the case and also showed some indicators of the effectiveness of narrative conflict coaching techniques through documenting the participants’ responses to each of the steps in the process. Analysis of discursive positioning from statements early in each of the conversations and also from late in each conversation indicated positioning shifts in the direction of creating an alternative narrative into which the participants might live. Both participants were shown to reach a place of difference in perspective in relation to the conflict story. It is therefore argued that the guidelines for a conflict coaching process are adaptable in at least two different areas of life. It cannot yet be generalized to all areas of conflict but looks promising for multiple personal conflict situations.

Abstract:
This research is concerned with the question of what constitutes a good therapeutic outcome and which therapeutic practices are most likely to bring this about. It comprises, first, a narrative literature review which examines recent claims of 'positive psychologists' to have devised interventions that are more effective at directly increasing human 'happiness' and well-being than those that aim to reduce distress. This review concludes that such claims are not backed up by clear evidence, that they lack conceptual clarity and that it is therefore not clear that the field of positive psychology has added anything new to clinical practice. The qualitative analysis of the narratives of former therapy clients who have assessed their therapy as helpful forms the basis for the main research paper, which explores clients' stories of what constitutes helpful therapy. The paper constructs and discusses a single shared plot line that is common to all participants and concludes that helpful therapy is that which helps clients to construct their own sense of understanding and 'story' about their difficulties as well as to develop some strategies for dealing with their effects. The critical review takes a reflective stance to considering how far the research study has represented the range of clients' views on the therapeutic practices that they find useful. It considers one particular study participant whose narrative suggests that the shared story derived from the research paper may represent only one of a range of possible different conceptions of 'helpful therapy', that which occurs when clients use therapy as a discrete and focused episode in their life rather than an ongoing source of support and development. The paper concludes that future research could benefit from exploring with service users different conceptions of the role of therapy that might lead to different 'stories'.

Abstract:
The roles of occupational therapists working in the National Health Service (NHS) are being challenged by new ways of organising and regulating the workforce (Gage 1995). This thesis contributes to a debate on occupational therapy professional identities within a modernising NHS. Theoretically the thesis has been framed within the sociology of the professions and the methodology adopted has been informed by Foucauldian poststructuralisma ndn arrativei nquiry. The research explores the reforms to the NHS as experienced by 14 occupational therapists. The empirical research was conducted over 12 months across 5 NHS organisations in England. Each participant was interviewed three times and was asked to keep a monthly diary of critical incidents. The participants told local stories on the theme of NHS "modernisation" and "working lives", to characterise how the reforms become lived and known in occupational therapy practice and how this impacts on notions of professional identity. A process of narrative analysis was developed to analyse this data. The result is five metaphorical stories; the battle, the love story, the magazine, the journey and the pantomime, which are centred on professionalism and professional identity. Four policy driven ideologies of managerialism, service user choice, inter-professional working and greater regulation of the health professions provide a context for the exploration of the construction of professional identities. It is demonstrated that a profound change is occurring in the NHS which affects professional values, expertise, status and accountability. I identify five professional identity strategies; embracement, game playing, separatism, (re)membering and distancing, which the participants use to adapt to work role transitions. It is argued that professional identity can be conceived as a reflexive ethical concept in that it is through the process of reflecting on the discursive options and values available, that occupational therapists come to understand , explain and define their professional selves.

Abstract:
This qualitative study examined how adolescent participants who self-harm narrate motivations for and experiences of self-harm and what a narrative group music therapy process could afford them. Seven participants from a high school in South Africa who engage in self-harm attended narrative group music therapy sessions for six weeks. Multiple interventions were used to create opportunities for self-expression within sessions. Narratives that emerged during this therapeutic process were analysed. Five main narratives were identified: “who I am, becoming and strive to be,” “relationships,” “worldview,” “self-harm,” “music therapy.”

Abstract:
This study aims to explore the use and relevance of Narrative approaches to psycho-social interventions in the South African context. The profession of psychology in South Africa has been in a state of discontentment since the country’s turn to democracy in 1994 which has been voiced from both those within the profession and those it aims to assist. The loudest call is for a psychology that is relevant to the South African context – culturally, socially, and politically. Narrative approaches to psychotherapy and psycho-social intervention are grounded in post-modern and social-constructionist thought and offer an alternative to mainstream psychological theory. Narrative practice aims to promote social justice and views therapy as a political act. It is also an approach that values local knowledges and sees all therapeutic engagements as cross-cultural encounters which are approached with curiosity and a not-knowing stance, rather than an interpretive, analytical lens. This study has investigated what the existing literature has produced regarding the use and relevance of Narrative approaches in South Africa context. The research process was implemented using a mixed methods research methodology whereby a sample of 58 journal articles (n=58) were analysed using both quantitative and qualitative content analysis. The common themes that emerged from the articles were ‘viewing people in context’, ‘listening to the telling of stories’, ‘theoretical constructs of a narrative approach’, and ‘social phenomena’.

Full text
Abstract:

Children with language impairments frequently benefit from language intervention which utilizes children's books. However, careful selection of the children's books by interventionists must be done, as these children are frequently delayed in narrative abilities. This research investigates the narrative level of children's books used in language intervention with three methodologies of narrative analysis. Results indicate that children's books have narratives that span across developmental levels; revealing that not all books are appropriate for all children in narrative terms. Clinical implications are discussed.

Abstract:
Art therapy’s complex knowledge base has accumulated over 60 years via the interweaving of concepts and ideas originating in the fields of art and aesthetics, psychology and psychiatry, education and sociology. Its theorists and practitioners have followed differing plans in its construction. Explanatory taxonomies organising this array of ideas have generally been based on psychotherapeutic theories (Freudian, Jungian, Rogerian, Winnicottian etc.) - or on the symptoms of client populations (Art therapy with: children, HIV/Aids victims, disability etc.). These taxonomies create problems for art therapists required to produce ‘evidence’ required for evidence based practice. Following a deconstruction of the prevailing taxonomies a re-construction of central ideas and practices in terms of ‘cultural paradigms’ is presented. Each of these ‘paradigms’, seven of which will be identified, incorporated two ‘common denominators’ - ‘art’ and ‘therapy’ - embedded within a particular (socially constructed) realm of discourse, of ‘culture’. The paradigms are: art, therapy and the spiritual; art, therapy and the magical; art, therapy and the moral; art, therapy and the educational; art, therapy and the psychological; art, therapy and (aspects of ) the sociological; art, therapy and (aspects of ) the philosophical. A developmental narratives traces the evolution of these base components from origins in the nineteenth century and earlier. Through their presentation in a (historical), socio-cultural trajectory - from pre-modernism, through modernism, to postmodernism - it will be argued that art therapy is quintessentially ‘modernist’ as a profession. It exploits the modern democratisation of the art-making process; as well it endorses therapeutic aims such as self-realisation, self-expression, etc., characteristic of modern individualism. The first two cultural paradigms originate in the pre-modern period of proto-art therapy, the next three belong to its consolidation as a discipline within modernism proper and the last two are still being formed within the post-modern period. The re-organisation of the fabric of art therapy theory will enable researchers to analyse each of the cultural paradigms separately in terms of its particular historical significance, its internal coherence, its claims to effectiveness, its relationships to the other paradigms and to other related disciplines.

Full text
Abstract:
This research study is aimed at evaluating the artwork created by a woman who has experienced the trauma of domestic violence. A qualitative research approach was used to capture the phenomenological outcomes in the art created during art therapy sessions using the theoretical lens of narrative therapy to analyze the art. For this study the subject was a young woman from Central America who had come into therapy per court mandate to address the issues of domestic violence at a community-based mental health center where the researcher was conducting her second- year practicum. The data (art) was gathered after each art therapy session. Five sessions in total were conducted where the subject was given various art making directives. The subject created six total pieces of artwork during the five sessions. The researcher then analyzed the artwork created by the subject using a phenomenological approach while looking for common themes found in the artwork using a narrative therapy lens with which to view the artwork. Many themes uncovered in the artwork were parallel to narrative therapy theory such as resilience and empowerment and held the possibility of assisting the subject who experienced domestic violence in finding new outcomes.

Full text
Abstract:
This thesis focuses on the adaptation and feasibility of the narrative module of an intervention, Narrative Enhancement and Cognitive Therapy (NECT), for people with late-onset psychosis (LOP). Part one of the thesis is a literature review examining the outcomes of adapted psychological interventions for psychosis and exploring the adaptation processes where reported. The 11 papers are presented according to the study design quality, followed by a discussion on the three reported adaptation models and ad-hoc adaptation processes. Part two of the thesis is an empirical study which investigated the adaptation process and feasibility of the narrative module of NECT for people in late-onset psychosis. The intervention was delivered by NHS and evaluated using a feasibility guidance (Orsmond and Cohn, 2015). The recruitment process for this study was jointly conducted with Lucy Smyth (2017). She examined the process and content of life history and present-time narratives of people with late-onset psychosis through semi-structured interviews. Part three is a critical appraisal. It will reflect on the process of conducting the research, including: research design, research governance, group selection, and implementation fidelity.

Full text
Abstract:
Section A reviews and critically evaluates the empirical literature on psychosocial interventions for multiple sclerosis (MS), the determinants of adjustment to MS, and the theoretical frameworks to account for these. Further, a conceptual and empirical review of the literature on narrative therapy is provided and an argument advanced for the utility of narrative therapy in facilitating adjustment to MS. Possible areas for further research are outlined. Section B describes a feasibility study which aimed to begin to test a theoretical argument for the application of group narrative therapy to facilitate psychosocial adjustment to MS, and to ascertain the feasibility of a larger scale randomised controlled trial. Fourteen MS patients received 8 weekly sessions of group narrative therapy delivered at two sites in England. Quality of life, coping processes, and illness representations were assessed at two time points prior to the intervention and immediately after the intervention, and analysed using Wilcoxon Matched-Pairs tests. Additional qualitative measures were taken and analysed using content analysis. The feasibility of a larger scale study was, in part, assessed by means of semi-structured interviews with health professionals involved in the study, and analysed using thematic analysis. Although none of the findings reached statistical significance upon correcting for multiple comparisons, positive trends were revealed for the mental health component of quality of life, confrontive coping, and the consequences component of illness representations. With respect to the feasibility of this study, several issues pertaining to recruitment and data collection emerged from the data that can inform future research. Taken together, the results of this pilot study are promising and warrant further investigation using a sufficiently large sample. Section C provides a reflection on the skills and abilities developed and learning needs identified whilst undertaking the research. It further offers a critical reflection on the study‟s methodology and the potential implications for clinical practice. Further potential lines of enquiry are outlined.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: As I engaged in a therapy journey with a single client, the possibilities for research on the integrative use of narrative therapy and EMDR unfolded. I investigated recent literature and realised that much had been written about narrative therapy as single approach to therapy within the postmodern paradigm. There was also extensive writing on EMDR and its integrative use with other therapies in assisting people who struggle with upsetting memories of trauma. Since I was unable to find any literature to date on the integrative use of narrative therapy and EMDR, I realized that there was much to be discovered and learned on such an integrative research journey. The client's experiences and descriptions of overwhelming emotional distress (as the problem in her life) during the process of integration was the main focus of this qualitative case study. During our therapy conversations knowledges were gathered and deconstructed. Video or tape recordings, photographs, work with clay, sketches, letters and other documents were useful in keeping track of the research journey. A reflecting team and the participation of the client's boyfriend contributed and enriched both the therapy and research journeys.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Tydens terapeutiese werk met 'n enkele kliënt het die moontlikhede van navorsing oor die integrasie van narratiewe terapie en EMDR vir my 'n werklikheid geword. Ek het onlangse navorsing bestudeer en besef dat narratiewe terapie as 'n enkele benadering tot terapie binne die post-moderne paradigma, al 'n geruime tyd lank nagevors is. Daar bestaan ook literatuur oor EMDR en die integrasie daarvan met ander terapeutiese benaderings in die ondersteuning van persone wat probleme ondervind met ontstellende herinnerings van trauma. Aangesien ek tot op hede geen literatuur oor die integrasie van narratiewe terapie en EMDR kon vind nie, het ek vermoed dat 'n navorsingsreis op hierdie terrein verskeie ontdekkings en die ontginning van nuwe kennis moontlik sou maak. Die fokus van hierdie kwalitatiewe gevallestudie val op die kliënt se belewing en beskrywings van oorweldigende emosies (as probleem in haar lewe) tydens die terapeutiese integrasieproses. Waarhede of kennis is tydens terapiegesprekke versamel en gedekonstrueer. Video- of bandopnames, foto's, kleiwerk, sketse, briewe en ander dokumente was waardevol om die koers van die navorsingsreis aan te dui. Insette en deelname van 'n refekterende span, asook die kliënt se kêrel, het beide die terapie- en navorsingsreise verryk en uitgebrei.

Full text
Abstract:
This article sets out to explore the hermeneutical problems in the narrative therapeutic theory of Michael White by investigating his understanding of "story" within its interpretative context. In both White's interpretative approach and his “story" are inconsistencies rooted in a meta-theoretical tension based on his account of the autonomy of a person. This tension lies between the postulation of contingency and the pressure of stability. This is shown by testing the sustainability of White's therapeutic approach against the logical consistency of the underlying theoretical and philosophical foundation. The fundamental meta-theoretical tensions are brought to the fore by means of these contradictions.
