Journal Title: Tiltai - Year 2018, Vol 81, Issue 3

Abstract

The method of the Narrative therapy originated at the end of the 20th century as an interdisciplinary practice and research between psychotherapy and social work. Caritative social work is aimed at more penetrating analysis of the clients’ personality issues along with social issues involved in the crisis, and Narrative therapy is one of the ways to deal with it. The article presents the context of NT, the meaning of both dominating and alternative narratives. The practical application of the method is overviewed: externalization by which the client is separated from his problem along with identification of the critical points, the change of the viewpoint and position of the therapist. Narrative therapy may be used in work with individual clients, couples and families, also work with larger groups is possible. In the practice of caritative social work NT invites to refocus several aspects of the human identity perception.
