Social constructionist narrative therapy:

What is narrative therapy:

Narrative therapy is a form of psychotherapy that seeks to help patients identify their values and the
skills associated with them. It provides the patient with knowledge of their ability to live these values
so they can effectively confront current and future problems.

Narrative therapy is a form of therapy that aims to separate the individual from the problem,
allowing the individual to externalize their issues rather than internalize them. It relies on the
individual's own skills and sense of purpose to guide them through difficult times.

What is social constructivism:

Social constructivism states that individuals are active participants in the

creation of their own knowledge. He believed that learning takes place
primarily in social and cultural settings, rather than solely within the
individual. eg students learn primarily through interactions with their peers,
teachers, and parents.
Social constructionists believe that things that are generally viewed as natural
or normal in society (eg understandings of gender, race, class, and disability)
are socially constructed, and accordingly are not an accurate reflection of
reality.
What is social constructionist narrative therapy:

The social constructionist, narrative methodology is dialogical and focuses on

the many aspects of the client's abilities rather than searching for pathology
or dysfunction.

Narrative analysis is an analytical method that accommodates a variety of approaches. Through

these approaches, social researchers explore how people story their lives. This is also a
process through which researchers understand the complexities of personal and social
relations. Narrative analysis provides the researcher with useful tools to comprehend the
diversity and the different levels involved in stories, rather than treating those stories simply as
coherent, natural and unified entities.

Narrative therapy is based on social constructivism theory and considers the reality as socially
constructed and based on the way we interact with others. People can have different realities of the
same experience.
