Kudos to Jim Duvall and Laura Beres for connecting practice, training, and research in one very readable, engaging volume! They invite us behind the scenes of their qualitative research project, showing us not just their work in a range of contexts, but also critical reflection on their therapy and teaching and how that influences its development. I found their description of pivotal moments and time particularly useful and inspiring.--Jill Freedman, MSW, Director, Evanston Family Therapy Center, and coauthor, Narrative Therapy and Narrative Therapy with Couples

Time and again, I have been asked about the 'evidence based' foundations for narrative practice, and about the relevance of narrative practice in short term and brief therapeutic contacts, and about the application of narrative practice to working with groups. I also encounter a high frequency of questions about the language of therapy, and about options for the development of collaborative partnerships with clients and trainees in the further development of narrative practice. This book addresses these frequently asked questions about narrative therapy.--Michael White, one of the founders of narrative therapy, author of Maps of Narrative Practice , and coauthor of Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends

This work is resolute in embracing and sharing the traditions of narrative therapy while adding to the canon. -- The National Psychologist Kudos to Jim Duvall and Laura Beres for connecting practice, training, and research in one very readable, engaging volume!

The application of the critically reflective approach, coupled with the intense research work, is highly satisfying both from an academic and a practice perspective. I learned a lot from this book and it encouraged me to keep learning and stay open. -- Jan Fook, Professor of Professional Practice Research and Director, Interprofessional Institute, University of London For those interested in expanding their repertoire to the use of Narrative Therapy, this book is well worth studying. -- Rubin Battino - The Milton H.
