Ways of Intervening:
Techniques: Questions- The counselor ask questions to provide dialoged and give clients opportunity to explore thoughts of their lives.
Externalization and Deconstruction- This technique is the most frequently borrowed. "This process separates the person from identification with the problem. When clients view themselves as "being" the problem, they are limited in the ways they can effectively deal with the problem. When clients experience the problem as being located outside of themselves, they can create a relationship with the problem" (Corey, 387).
Search for unique outcomes- during externalization the therapist asks questions to discover unique outcomes.
Alternative stories or Reauthoring- is a turning point for the client because the client makes the choice to change their story from the problem saturated one they have had.
Documenting the Evidence- It is important that the client has an audience that sees the change. The counselor may write a letter to the client that "provides a record of the session and may include an externalizing description of the problem and its influence on the client, as well as an account of the client's strengths and abilities that are identified in a session" (Corey, 389).
Multicultural considerations: Narrative therapy is considered culturally sensitive because it has characteristics of person centered therapy, such as unconditional positive regard, nonjudgmental, active listening, and the client is the expert. The client is able to construct their own story based on their perceptions, which may include their culture, social, and political views.
Population: The therapy would work best with individuals because the client can construct their own storyline. Having this therapy as individual will help the client focus on their own problems/ counseling issues.
Limitations: Some limitations of narrative therapy is since the therapy/techniques changes from client to client there is little evidence-based research done.
