Abstract
|
|
|
Objectives: This case study aims to understand how narrative therapy is applied to counseling sessions with a family at risk for child abuse.
Methods: The narrative therapy was practiced in ten sessions of interviews with a single mom who is suffering from guilty conscience about abusing her 11-year-old son. The session transcripts and all therapeutic documents were analyzed qualitatively, and information is systematically organized according to a narrative therapy map and chart.
Results: Through externalizing conversation, the single mom deconstructed her social discourse and identity of the single-family. She thereby discovered the alternative narrative of her son and herself through the conversation of unique outcomes. In addition, the alternative identity was reconstructed through re-authoring and re-membering conversations, definitional ceremony, and the family's social support system was expanded.
Conclusions: Narrative therapy effectively stopped child abuse and improving family relationships. This was achieved by constructing and empowering an alternative narrative and identity in the community.
