BOOKS OF NOTE FROM AUTHORS WE LOVE: LAUNCH OF 'DOWN UNDER AND UP OVER: TRAVELS WITH NARRATIVE THERAPY'- A NEW BOOK BY DAVID EPSTON AFT PUBLISHING, WARRINGTON, UNITED KINGDOM. Several years ago, David was commissioned by the Association of Family Therapy(United Kingdom) to prepare a manuscript for a book. This was to include two halves, one of which came to be known as 'down under' and the other 'up over'. The first half of the book(Chapters 1 to 6) draws upon many papers David has published over the years in Australia and New Zealand(or down under) that very likely were unread in the United Kingdom. The papers included range from 'In memory of Hayden(Hatu) Barlow 1973-1995' which was first published by Dulwich Centre Press in his 'Collected Papers'(1989). Others chapters are drawn from the now out of print- Gecko- a Journal of Deconstruction and Narrative Ideas(1997, 1998), Narrative Network News(Melbourne)(2003), Aotearoa New Zealand Social Work Review(2004) and most recently, the International Journal of Narrative Therapy and Community Work(2006). The rest of the chapters(7-11) were exclusively prepared for publication 'up over' in this text. These chapters include wide ranging approaches to intractable bed wetting problems of teenagers, seemingly intractable and dangerous sibling disputes, the common but difficult problem of stealing and more specifically lifelong shop lifting and a version of a Plenary address delivered before the Australian New Zealand Academy of Eating Disorders in Adelaide(2006). Each and every chapter features David's unique and at times scintillating ways of going about his 'practice' of narrative therapy. Down Under and Up Over(2008) is now available through www.narrativebooks.com at the reduced price of $30US(compare amazon.com at $39US).

La terapia narrativa implica a toda la familia y especialmente a los niños, pues respeta su lenguaje singular, sus recursos para la resolución de problemas y su concepción del mundo. Cuando los adultos hablan con seriedad y centrándose en el análisis de los problemas es probable que los niños pierdan interés. Los autores de este libro se preguntan: ¿es posible jugar y conservar el sentido del humor mientras se abordan con eficacia situaciones angustiosas, alarmantes o peligrosas? ¿Cómo podemos invitar a los niños y a sus familias a aportar sus recursos imaginativos y creativos para llegar a comprender la complejidad sociocultural de los problemas? Los ejemplos de casos reales llenan el libro desde las primeras páginas. Y así, el lector puede llegar a descubrir que niños a los que se podría catalogar de beligerantes, hiperactivos, ansiosos o fuera de la realidad son capaces de reprimir su mal genio, controlar su frustración, afrontar sus miedos y emplear al máximo su imaginación. De este modo, la terapia narrativa --una terapia realista, alentadora, pragmática y divertida-- anima a los niños y a sus familias a utilizar recursos hasta ahora menospreciados para solucionar los problemas con que deben enfrentarse. Gracias a este libro, terapeutas, padres, profesores y cualquier persona que se dedique a trabajar con niños podrán descubrir nuevas formas de mejorar sus ideas de las maneras más inesperadas, pero también más esclarecedoras.
