- Title
The 'Mighty Oak': Using the 'Tree of Life' methodology as a gateway to the other maps of narrative practice.
- Authors
Dickson, Janelle
- Abstract
This paper describes using the 'Tree of Life' narrative therapy methodology with a young man who was experiencing bullying, and had himself engaged in anger and aggression. This thorough account of narrative practice shows how a 'stand-alone' methodology like the Tree of Life can be a 'jumping off' point for using the other maps of narrative practice, including re-authoring conversations, re-membering conversations, definitional ceremony, and therapeutic documents. In this way, the 'Tree of Life' methodology provides entry points to other narrative conversations and practices, which blend into each other and complement each other for an effective therapeutic engagement.
