Praxis: Situating Discourse, Feminism & Politics, in N Edited by Stephen Madigan and Ian LawPraxis: Situating Discourse, Feminism & Politics, in Narrative Therapie To come across a gifted writer who is also a skilled therapist is as rare a delicacy as a skilled therapist who is a gifted writer. To find six in one place is a feast not to be missed. Each chapter gives us a different vantage point from which to view our teaching, training and practice of therapy. Each author invites us to consider how our theory works in practice and how our practice is informed by theory. If this thought whets your appetite, then sit down, open this book and treat yourself. Imelda McCarthy PhD Director, Family and Systemic Therapies phd Program, Department of Social Policy and Social Work at University College, Dublin, Ireland.
This book is a must for anyone who is interested in delving into the thinking that is at the heart of postmodern narrative therapy practice. Not only do the authors invite us to bend our minds around hard concepts, they engage us in ways of working that bring these concepts to life. Those of you who dare to read this book will find how you think about therapeutic practice changed forever. Victoria Dickerson PhD & Jeff Zimmerman PhD Co-directors of BAFTA in Cupertino, California and members of the teaching faculty at MRI in Palo Alto and co-authors of the book If Problems Talked: Narrative Therapy in Action.
This innovative and wonderful text will inspire students and teachers, as well as theoreticians and practitioners. The writing is elegant, the practical work is creative, and the theory is fascinating. Do yourself a favour . . . buy this book! William D. Lax, PhD. Associate Chairperson, Antioch New England Graduate School
This is not the usual collection of published papers. Praxis is a great new contribution to the field of therapy theory and practice. I recommend that you read each paper against the others to experience what happens when lively, committed and high-spirited minds meet. Congratulations are in order! David Epston, Auckland, NZ Co-author, Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends |
