NEW APPROACHES TO WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES/COMMUNITIES: PART 2 (First time participants welcome)

David is co-authoring a book with David Marsten(Social Work, University of Southern California). Last year, he presented part 1 of that project. This year he will add part 2. This workshop is an account of his work since the late 90s. It is both the intention of this forthcoming publication and the workshop that such approaches are available for you to take 'on the job' or for research purposes. David is following in Michael White's tradition of 'mapping' his practice so you can follow the map until you can find your own way around. This workshop will be illustrated by live interviews as well as transcripts/dvds of interviews and letters that were integral to the interviews.

To prepare for this workshop, you might be interested in reading Freeman, Epston and Lobovits(1997), Playful Approaches to Serious Problems, New York, WWNorton; Epston, D.(2008), Down Under and Up Over: Travels with Narrative Therapy, Warrington, UK, Association of Family Therapy(UK)/Karnac

David Epston was one of the originators, along with Michael White, of what has come to be known as 'Narrative Therapy'. He attended the Universities of Auckland, Edinburgh, British Columbia and Warwick. Currently, he is co-director of the Family Therapy Centre in Auckland, New Zealand and Visiting Professor, School of Human Sciences and Community Studies, UNITEC Institute of Technology, Auckland. He was awarded a D.Lit (1996) by the Graduate School of Professional Psychology, John F. Kennedy University, Orinda, California and the Special Award for Distinguished Contributions to Family Therapy from the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Family Therapy. He has published widely and is perhaps best known for White and Epston (1990), Narrative Means to Therapeutic Ends, WWNorton, New York which has been translated into 10 languages; Freeman, Epston and Lobovits (1997), Playful Approaches to Serious Problems: Narrative Therapy with Children and Their Families, WWNorton, New York; and recently, Maisel, Epston and Borden (2004), Biting the Hand that Starves You: Inspiring Resistance to Anorexia/Bulimia, WWNorton, New York. He has also made a number of training video-tapes with www.masterworks.com and co-produces the website- www.narrativeapproaches.com. with Dean Lobovits and Jennifer Freeman. His teaching style is reputed to be engaging, creative and always surprising.
This workshop is sponsored by www.narrativeapproaches.com. This may be the only time this workshop is offered in the Bay Area in 2008.
Suzanne Pregerson is the administrator of this workshop.

  International summer school of narrative practice

Adelaide, South Australia

Over 4 days and evenings (Wednesday- Saturday) we are planning a smorgasbord of skills-based narrative therapy practice sessions. A range of international presenters will join Dulwich Centre Faculty members in creating a context for the exploration and practice of therapeutic skills. Each day will begin with a practice-based keynote before participants select whole day practice seminars on a range of different themes. Throughout the day there will also be opportunities for practitioners to consult faculty members for individual and group supervision sessions; to meet with publishers and writers over ways of representing their work in a written form; and to watch and reflect with others on videotapes of therapy sessions by a range of respected narrative therapists. In the evenings, apart from gathering over South Australian wines and revelling in the summer atmosphere, we will also be arranging evening talks on broader themes which are nonetheless related to narrative practice, practice, practice! We are really looking forward to this summer school and a chance to have Dulwich Centre filled with practitioners dedicated to talking about the nitty-gritty of therapeutic practice and ways of further developing skills.
