This document discusses the principles of narrative therapy. It states that people make meaning and understand themselves through the stories they hear and tell. Problems are shaped by social and cultural contexts rather than being inherent to the individual. The narrative therapist acts as a facilitator who helps clients develop new insights and empowerment by drawing attention to subtle changes, allowing clients to become authors of their own lives. Therapists are supportive and never judge, instead offering new perspectives to help clients find new meanings in their stories.
