Travelling down the neuro-pathway: Narrative practice, neuroscience, bodies, emotions and the affective turn — David Denborough

In recent times, a complex interplay of factors has led to the social sciences grappling with neuroscience, affect/emotion and embodied experience in new ways. This paper engages with the following four questions: How does narrative therapy fit with neuroscience? How does narrative practice engage with emotion? How does narrative practice relate to the affective turn? How does narrative therapy engage with the body/somatic experience/embodied experience? Throughout this paper examples from Michael White’s therapy practice and contemporary examples of collective narrative practice are discussed.

Decolonising research: an interview with Bagele Chilisa —David Denborough

Team of Life: Offering young people a sporting chance — David Denborough

The Team of Life narrative approach uses sporting metaphors to enable young people to deal with traumatic experience without having to speak directly about it. Young people are invited to consider who are the members of their ‘Team of Life’: Who make up some of the team members of your life? These people can be alive or no longer living. They can be present in your life now or people who you have known in the past.

Strengthening Resistance: the use of narrative practices in responding to genocide survivors — David Denborough, Jill Freedman & Cheryl White

This publication documents ways in which narrative practices can be used to respond to individual and collective trauma. In late 2007, David Denborough, Jill Freedman and Cheryl White from the Dulwich Centre Foundation (Australia) and the Evanston Family Therapy Center (USA) headed to Kigali, Rwanda, to provide support and narrative skills training to 34 trauma counsellors and assistant lawyers, all of whom are themselves survivors of the Rwandan genocide.

It Takes a Team: A collective narrative project involving young people with chronic health concerns and their families — David Denborough, Evelyn Culnana, Rebecca Peters, Tim Demos, Pam Rycroft and Glenda Fredman

This publication describes a unique project that took place at the Royal Children’s Hospital (RCH), utilising sporting metaphors and the Team of Life narrative approach to assist young people and their families. When adulthood approaches for young people who have attended hospital over many years throughout their childhood due to serious and chronic health conditions, the transition can be complex. Moving from the care of dedicated staff at the RCH into adult heath services can pose significant challenges.

This project involved a partnership between the Transition Support Service and the Dulwich Centre Foundation. We worked together to adapt the Team of Life narrative approach to support young people and their families.

This publication describes the process of these sessions, explains the key principles, and includes the words of young people and parents. It also includes reflections from team members and feedback and evaluations from participants. It is hoped that this will provide information and inspiration to those working in other health settings.
