From the Paper
"Narrative therapy can be considered a post-modern therapy and mental health treatment that seeks to gain the cooperation and insight of the patient him or herself. It consists of the integration of individuals' expressions of their unique experiences in life, an account of the individuals' interpretive processes about those experiences, and in relating these unique experience sets to both the culture background of the individual and the treatment plan (Bull, Dettinger, Detwiler, Petersen & Propst, 2005, paras.1-12). It is the counselor's or therapist's duty to reconcile these experiences and, most importantly, the individual's interpretive perception of them, with the particular mental affectation that is manifesting itself."

Abstract
This paper is an interpretive essay presenting the concepts of narrative therapy that occur in Pulitzer Prize winning journalist Rick Bragg's book, "All Over But the Shoutin". The paper explains that the book is considered as a therapeutic narrative of autobiographical memory and looks at how the concept of "re-authoring" applies.
From the Paper
"In Narrative Therapy people re-author their lives or story by defining their own existence, thereby constructing reality by choices made to give meaning to a life. This type of therapy may be viewed as a protest against the socially imposed dominant narrative and a means of making sense of a lived experience. People can be seen as problems or as stories that allow multiple possibilities. Award winning writer Rick Bragg uses the concepts of narrative therapy in his book "All Over But the Shoutin", turning it into a therapeutic narrative...

Abstract
This paper is a response to the AcuScan case study, identifying where assumptions and fallacies took place and recommending alternatives. The paper includes an executive summary.
From the Paper
"The situation at AcuScan is exacerbated by the fact that the principals involved are all making unwarranted assumptions. The first assumption by Cliff O'Connor in the Scanner Weekly is that AcuScan will continue to take the market by storm in the coming year, a rather optimistic assumption considering that the budget cuts and layoffs have still not brought revenues in line with costs and sales and service are slipping. In his memo to department heads, Cliff states that he is confident the company will recapture..."

Abstract
The paper discusses how narrative therapy was developed by, among others, Dr. White in the 1950s, and has been found especially useful in helping overcome verbal limitations of autism, as well as developing bridges for those whose English language is limited and who may not be able to fully express themselves.
From the Paper
"We live in a stressful world. Many lives are more fragile- or at least detected as such. Therefore, more and more diverse types of therapy are utilized. Some work, some do not. Some provide permanent relief; some, only temporary easement of anguish and mental health problems. Narrative therapy is one aspect of trying to ease some pain that has seen beneficial and inconclusive results. Narrative therapy is a good way to externalize problems: "When the problem becomes an entity that is separate from the person, and when people are not tied to... negative 'certainties' about their lives, new options for...""
