NEW BOOK
Masters of Narrative and Collaborative Therapies: The voices of Andersen, Anderson, and White.
Editors: Malinen, Cooper & Thomas.
Tom Andersen, Harlene Anderson, and Michael White have shaped the landscapes of dialogical, collaborative, and narrative therapies. All three share a common curiosity for meaning making as a relational process, a curiosity that emerges from their transcripts and allows us a glimpse into their wisdom, compassion, and skill. Contextualized by editors and contributors, readers can experience how many ideas and practices, which we take for granted, are challenged by a more relational framework.
