ABSTRACT
Narrative therapy practice is premised on the notion that people organize their lives through stories (thus the use of the narrative or text metaphor). When we experience a client family coming to talk with us in therapy, they usually relate a telling of their lives through stories (Madigan, 2011). They tell their stories by linking together their understanding of the problem, relationship, illness, and so on through a sequencing of life events and ideas through time (Bruner, 1990). People often speak about what brought them into therapy, what they believe the history of their situation is, and who or what is responsible.
