In his book Mind: A Journey to the Heart of Being Human, Dr Daniel Siegel notes that clients’ recovery was often “directly related to how they made sense of their lives and created a coherent narrative of their life experiences.” Clinicals can help them make sense of their individual lives by encouraging a fuller, deeper understanding of narrative itself.
The keynote speaker of Psychotherapy & Spirituality’s Fall Conference, Mindful Listening: Culling and Shifting Client Narratives, will be Gail Noppe-Brandon, LCSW, MPA, MA. Gail has over 25 years of experience in narratology.
Her method has been used by universities, social service organizations, and individuals to bring authenticity, empathy, and clarity to dialogue…with self, and with others. As a result of this conference, participants should be able to:
- Define the concepts of dramaturgy, questionology, and narratology and how to apply them in a clinical setting;
- Articulate the benefits of a narratological frame for creating a non-pathologized view of where their clients are stuck;
- Apply the concept of narrative reconstruction to the desired shifts in a client’s self-concept, or core schemas, that will be based on the re-membered and/or re-framed material that emerges in the work.
