| Description: |
Re-imagining Therapy explores the benefits to therapeutic practice of paying attention to how people relate to and with language - how ways of talking support different kinds of relationships and experiences. The authors draw on social constructionist, dialogic, narrative and solution-oriented approaches to argue that `detachment' and `objectivity' have impoverished our ways of understanding life and language. They focus on words and language as tools, gestures and actions through which therapy can work to build a sense of promise and trust. |
