Dear Reader,
Welcome to the second issue for 2016! It features papers from Canada, USA, Australia, New Zealand and Austria. These include creative contemporary uses of externalising conversations with children, adults facing fear, and men who have been violent to female partners.
We’re also pleased to publish here:
– A narrative therapy paper that explores how collective considerations of moving from ‘disorder’ to political action can assist women who express concerns about eating and their bodies
– A rigorous and innovative new narrative methodology using the metaphor of the bicycle
– And one of the first papers in relation to narrative practice and gaming
It’s another diverse collection. Delightfully, this is the first time we have published papers by any of the authors featured here. It is always exciting when new authors appear in the field.
Warmly
Cheryl White
