Reviews

[Angel Martínez · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excelentes ensayos criticos y entrevistas de la práctica narrativa, que van desde el cuestionamiento y distanciamiento sobre el objeto de estudio entre los modelos sistemicos y el narrativo, hasta el manejo con casos de abuso, trauma, entre otros. El estilo de White, muy filosófico y critico nos lleva al cuestionamiento, siguiendo la línea de Focault de los privilegios y el dominio del otro
