- Title
Keeping Faith: A Conversation With Michael White.

Duvall, Jim; Young, Karen
- Abstract
This interview with Michael White for the Journal of Systemic Therapies consisted of a series of conversations that occurred over a five-year period, beginning on October 22, 2002 and ending October 4, 2007, almost six months prior to his death. All of the interviews occurred following five-day training programs that Michael was teaching at the Hincks-Dellcrest Institute in Toronto, Canada. The initial interview began with Adrienne Chambon, Ph.D., Associate Professor, Faculty of Social Work, University of Toronto and Jim Duvall. Adrienne teaches narrative studies at the University of Toronto. She was unavailable for the second meeting, therefore, Karen Young, who is a BTTC-I faculty member, was asked to join the discussion. Michael was invited to step into the foreground of this conversation by providing glimpses of particular aspects of his life, rendering him more visible to the readers. These aspects of his life provided themes of circumstances that could be illuminated and their influences regarding the development of many of the ideas and practices that constitute what we now identify as narrative therapy, could be better understood. We were particularly interested in Michael's notion of keeping faith, staying true to those important sentiments, learnings, and circumstances in life that clarify what is important that we give value to.
