    Narrative & Expressive Art

    Uploaded by

    Shimeh
    This document discusses a postmodern approach to social work. It makes three key points: 1. Reality is socially constructed and influenced by language rather than objective. Our narratives shape our reality. 2. There is no absolute truth - what is true depends on context and perspective. 3. Postmodern social work aims to deconstruct problems and then reconstruct empowering narratives, using trauma-informed, culturally safe, and collaborative methods that give voice and choice to clients. The document provides an overview of postmodern social work principles and suggests expressive arts and journaling as potential methods. It asks readers to reflect on how to apply a trauma-informed expressive arts therapy approach to a case study client.
