Aging is typically associated with steady physical and cognitive decline; the practice of narrative therapy, by contrast, focuses on the resilience of older adults by encouraging the construction of meaningful life stories. Practitioners engage participants to revisit their personal journeys to uncover their life lessons, finding core beliefs and values to help cope with new challenges. Ultimately, narrative therapy helps older adults recover meaning in life by inviting them to recollect and commemorate their life experiences.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eNarrative Therapy with Older Adults\u003c\/em\u003e is an in-depth guide to narrative therapy for students and practitioners in health care, social work, gerontology, and counseling. It shows readers how to develop a culturally sensitive practice framework with older adults. The book presents a step-by-step manual on the therapeutic use of narrative, describing the theories, methods, skills, and techniques of transformative narrative practice with older people in individual, family, group, and collective settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eDrawing on extensive clinical practice with older adults in Hong Kong and New York City, the authors explore narrative methods in divergent cultural contexts to advance a globally minded approach. Bringing narrative therapy to gerontological practice in culturally sensitive ways, this book foregrounds alternative models of aging that celebrate a life worth living.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471302082796,"sku":"9780231196079","price":120.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780231196079-narrative-therapy-with-older-adults.jpg?v=1775237248"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/dr-lauren-taylor.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
