interview with counselor Viola who has met 8 times with 16-year-old Joel, and

Books on Narrative Work
So You Want to Learn Narrative Therapy? Letters to an Aspiring Narrative
Therapist by Sanni Paljakka & Tom Stone Carlson
So You Want to Do Narrative Therapy? is an engaging and accessible introduction
to contemporary narrative therapy practice. Each of the ten chapters is written in
the series of letters personally addressed to a real student who is learning how to
do narrative therapy at a narrative therapy agency. Each letter highlights the most
useful discoveries during the authors9 years of practicing in a narrative therapy
agency, both as a therapist and as supervisors. Each letter also contains
transcripts from therapy sessions showing the principles and practices in action
and ends with a therapeutic poem that was given to the client based on their own
words from a therapy session. While written for narrative therapists at any level
of experience, this book is especially useful for graduate-level theory courses in
therapy training programs in counseling, psychology, social work, and family
therapy.
