The Narrative Journey: An Illustrated Guide To Narrative Therapy Principles
The Narrative Journey: An Illustrated Guide to Narrative Therapy Principles uses a journey metaphor to take the reader through the experience of narrative therapy.
This guidebook was conceived when John Stilllman was invited to train social workers who were practicing within a community working and living on a garbage dump in Kien Giang, Vietnam. It makes narrative principles accessible to people through illustration and story. Each of the principles is woven into the metaphor of a journey and is beautifully illustrated with an image that gives the reader an experiential relationship with narrative principles.
In addition, the Word Exercises outline questions that are influenced by narrative principles, enriching the reader’s experiential
understanding of narrative therapy.

Narrative Therapy Trauma Manual: A Principle-Based Approach
Narrative therapy Trauma Manual: A Principle-Based Approach is the first published manual on narrative therapy. By focusing on seven key principles, the author strives to keep a close connection to the philosophy that supports narrative practice and to shed light on the multiple narrative practices that foster rich story development.
The principles are guiding, not prescriptive, and honor the indigenous and particular cultural wisdom and local knowledge of the person seeking consultation with a therapist. Throughout, the author offers illustrations of how each principle can influence therapeutic conversations. Each principle is further linked to training guidelines in John Stillman’s book, Narrative Therapy Handbook: Moving Principles Into Practice (in press)
The manual’s approach to trauma builds upon contributions from social learning, memory, and trauma theory by Russell Meares, Lev Vygotsky, William James, David Epston, Barbara Myerhoff, Jerome Bruner, and Michael White. The manual highlights Michael White’s enduring contribution to attending to the consequences of trauma - exploring response to trauma as a basis of establishing subordinate story lines that reinvigorates value in the person’s life. This reconnection with intentionality, in turn, reinvigorates memory systems, and the person’s use of alternative narratives reduces the influences of trauma.
This book is intended for both research and training purposes that support rigorous training of narrative practitioners. The principles are not meant to become reified or prescriptive; rather, they are intended to encourage skill development in working with people who have experienced trauma, where the person remains at the center.
