ABSTRACT
The core narrative belief is that the realities are organised and maintained by the stories of people and other people tell about us. Narrative therapists hold a series of assumptions that steer their approach to their work and these assumptions are connected to a number of techniques or interventions that the therapist uses with the person who consults them. The narrative therapist seeks to uncover the skills of the person who has the problem to enable them to manage change in a different way. These techniques have been integrated into the work of non-narrative therapists and other helping professionals. In narrative therapy, stories are defined as interpretations of life events and are thought of as being linked, sequentially across time, within a plot. Narrative therapists use deconstruction conversations to decipher the cultural beliefs; practices and concepts that assist the problem and help the person view the problem differently.
