Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In this book, Hubert J. M. Hermans and Els HermansJansen elaborate a model of the clinical use of selfnarrativesthe stories people use to construct meaning out the events in their livesin counseling and psychotherapy. Based on extensive case studies and filled with a rich variety of illustrative examples, this integrative work covers the model's theory, methodology, and clinical applications.In using this model, the narrative becomes the core of each therapy session. When a client tells personal stories, he or she gives special significance to certain events, which illuminate their personal meanings. The therapist works in collaboration with the client to analyze the content and organization of these stories. As the stories are told and retold over time, changes in the narrative illustrate a gradual shift in the client's concerns, problems, and goals, which forms the basis for the therapeutic process.Chapters describe how clinicians can work with what is openly discussed and how to ascertain less conscious events and motives. In laying out the model, a framework is provided for better understanding the interrelationship of diverse phenomena such as autonomy, love, anger, unfulfilled longing, powerlessness, and isolation. Specific treatment strategies are detailed for forms of dissociation and dysfunctional personal meanings, including those associated with depression, overdependence, grandiosity, hopelessness, helplessness, and hostility. Finally, the book provides an overview of lifelong development of the basic motives (selfenhancement and the desire for contact and union with others), paying particular attention to the notion of transition and crisis.A special section comprises a detailed manual that features a variety of practical suggestions for application, adaptation and extension of the method. Moreover, guidelines are provided for the novice psychologist, who may perform a selfinvestigation and become aware of the pitfalls of countertransference.A powerful clinical tool that enhances cooperation between the client and therapist, the model delineated in this volume can be used in a wide variety of settings and is easily integrated with a range of orientations. Providing complete guidelines for its clinical use, SelfNarratives is an ideal resource for psychotherapists and counselors alike. Teachers or trainers who want to educate students in selfknowledge and selfreflection will find here an ideal method for stimulating these processes.
