Document Summary
Externalizing the problem: the oppressors in this case are named temper and impatience. These are not constructed as internal characteristics but as enemies that the family can unite against. Exception questions: finding exceptions allows you to find ways to over come the problem. Alternative narratives: made of or composed of all of the material you got from exception questions that are not part of temper and impatience. Narrative therapy and solution therapy are both constructivist models. The narrative challenge to cognitive behavioral treatment of sexual offenders. Narrating problematic experience in prison: narrative gives meaning to personal experiences, and through narrative the speaker discloses personal forms of thought and feeling. Narrative also allows the individual to construct order from the disorder and chaos that sometimes plague our daily lives. They tend to be shaped by detailed, cultural, and often context-specific cognitive schemas, interpretive processes, integral to the constructive nature of cognition, which mediate our understanding of the world.
