Narrative therapy: Reconstructing stroke survivors and caregivers’ meaning of and purpose in life
Content
Cerebrovascular disease, as the most significant cause of disability in adults, brings dramatic psychosocial impact to both the survivors and the family members. Narrative therapy(NT) is applied to externalize the dominant problem-saturated experiences, open diverse possibilities for reconstruction of identity, and re-authorize alternative storylines to address the problems in ways that are powerfully connected with their meaning of and purpose in life. Sharing from community collaborators, practical skills applications, and findings of a randomized controlled trial on treatment effects will also be discussed in relations to the impact of NT on stroke survivors and caregivers.
