Narrative therapy centres a person as the expert in their own story, and is particularly effective when combined with an older person's wealth of life experience. It highlights the way their views have been shaped by their cultural and personal contexts, which allows better understanding and communication, and improves people's lives. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWritten by experienced psychologists, group facilitators and service users, this guide explores how to use narrative therapy with older people, including those with dementia or age-related conditions. From Tree of Life facilitation to ways of approaching loss and trauma, each chapter offers advice and proven strategies for practice for individuals, staff teams, groups and communities. This book helps you to adopt a person-centred approach to narrative therapy that helps service users to lead the life they want to live. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhere ageism and stigma often overwhelm older people and those who work with them, narrative therapy brings the focus back onto the person themselves, in the context of their history, their family and their community - who are they, and what do they have to say?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rosslyn Offord\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1805012428\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781805012429\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Jessica Kingsley Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/21\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 5.90w x 0.60d","brand":"Rosslyn Offord","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48440048451839,"sku":"9781805012429","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46d763a6-4297-4069-aa82-0932a70459a1.jpg?v=1777180193","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/narrative-therapy-and-older-people-rosslyn-offord-9781805012429","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
