Vargas family case study: narrative therapy

Read “Topic 7: Vargas Family Case Study.”

Identify one member of the Vargas family whose dominant story could   use some rewriting. Read the workshop notes on Reauthoring Conversations.

Part 1: In 250-300 words, write a counseling note for the   client’s file. In this note, describe any exceptions to the   problem that you have identified and develop scaffolding questions to   ask the client in your next session, one in their landscape of action   and one in their landscape of identity.

Part 2: Put yourself in the client’s shoes and, as the client,   write a reauthoring version of their story that is 500-750 words in   length. It should incorporate the exceptions and responses to the   scaffolding questions from Part 1. Use narrative language when   applying this reauthoring technique.
