Práctica narrativa: La conversación continua

by Michael White, Marina González (Translator), Italo Latorre-Gentoso (Translator)

"¿Qué pasos podemos emprender para evitar ser totalmente cómplices de la reproducción del orden social dominante?
¿Cuáles son algunas de las condiciones necesarias para una terapia que sea sensible a las políticas de género, a las de dominación heterosexual o a las de raza y cultura, de clase y orientación sexual?
¿Cómo interactuar con las personas para ayudarlas a identificar, abrazar y honrar su resistencia frente a aquellos actos de individualismo en los que la cultura moderna dominante les incita a involucrarse mediante sus conocimientos y prácticas de poder?
¿Cómo subvertir las jerarquías de saber que privilegian el conocimiento profesional y abrir nuevas posibilidades para disentir?
Mi compromiso con la metáfora narrativa vino de mi decisión de buscar prácticas que no sean normativas. Me refiero a las prácticas que no refuerzan ni reproducen las formas de vida valoradas por la cultura dominante sin cuestionarlas -esas formas de ser en el mundo, consideradas 'reales', 'apropiadas', 'sanas' y demás.
Creo que la metáfora narrativa abre un terreno muy fértil para este proyecto, infinito" (Michael White)

I read this book in order to delve further into narrative practice and learn more about Michael White's conceptualization of how this can be useful both in therapeutic domains and outside of it. This is not a how-to book of narrative therapy, but rather a posthumously collected grouping of writings that showcase some of White's work and thoughts about the practice itself.

[Degan Walters · Rating 3 out of 5]

some great pieces of White’s writing (collected after his death), on important subjects but also talks about Michael White himself and offers a chapter on where Narrative therapy has expanded to. It feels like a bit of a catch-all book to not lose momentum after White, but also a worthwhile read - after a bit of a grounding in other writings.

[James Cliff · Rating 5 out of 5]

Impressive and thought-provoking piece of writing.

I'd recommend this book to all therapists who wish to rebuild a sense community or just human connections in the work they do either locally or afar.
