ABSTRACT
This chapter gives some sample exercises in detail. Partly it provides a resource for other primary care educators, but it is also a way of demonstrating how a narrative-based approach can be introduced to people who are unfamiliar with it. Many people initially consider that their own geneograms will prove boring to others, something that is very rarely the case. This exercise gives people a chance to explore the possibilities and limits of taking a narrative-based approach. In this exercise, people are divided into a number of small groups, each of which will appoint two people to act as a married couple, while the rest act as interviewer and observers. An idea comes from the Great Ormond Street child psychiatrist Danya Glaser, who argues that it is possible to work with child abusers from a pragmatic position of neutrality without letting go of a strongly held personal moral position of abhorrence or a statutory stance of vigilance.
