| Annotation | A Morgan's 'What is narrative therapy?' (Adelaide: Dulwich Centre Publications, 2000) explains that narrative therapy (NT) refers to "a particular way of understanding people's identities, the problems having an effect on their lives, the therapeutic relationship and the ethics and politics of therapy". The authors look at ways in which narrative NT can assist in thinking about dementia, and improving the care and experiences of those affected by it: value and social context; externalising problems; that it is more than therapy (helping each other and a movement for social justice); and we are all part of the Alzheimer's family. They remind us that in 'Dementia reconsidered' (1997), Tom Kitwood wants us to think about the histories of the people we work with. (RH). |
