  • To conceptualize therapy as a narrative co-generation process.
  • To explore the micro-level exchanges in therapy that facilitate narrative transformation.
  • To discuss the clinical, training, and research implications of this narrative systematization.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of therapeutic exchanges.
  • Focus on the co-creation of meaning within therapy narratives.
  • Systematization of narrative transformation processes.
