Objectives: This study is a Case study in which narrative therapy is applied to working mothers with preschool children.
Methods: For the purpose of the study, researcher try to dissolve the dominant social discourse about the mother role of working mom and reconstruct the identity narrative using metaphor. In the process of narrative therapy, the expansion of alternative stories and psycho - social cohesion were established through the work of outsider witness. The whole process was recorded and analyzed qualitative method.
Results: As a result, negative emotions and psychological conflicts on the role of mother in the working mother were found to be based on ‘good mother identity’ composed of poor stories. In the course of the research, the negative emotions and psychological conflicts experienced in the working mothers could be externalized in the narrative process and reconstructed alternative stories and preferred narrative of identity.
Conclusions: In this way, the working mothers who participated in the study can expand their diverse self-understanding, and while discovering their resources and strengths, can reconstruct the story of their preferred mother identity rather than the mother's identity of the poor story originating from the dominant discourse on the mother's role. In conclusion, narrative therapy was found to be effective in reconstructing the preferred narrative of identity in working mothers with preschool children.
