| Popis: | Purpose: Therapists' insights into practising narrative therapy (NT) with children canelucidate the strengths and challenges associated with this practice.Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate how therapists experience the application of NT with children.Method: Nine Danish narrative therapists working with children participated in semi-structured qualitative interviews. The data were analysed using Braun and Clarke'sthematic analysis.Results: Three overall themes were identified; “you have to be crazy about children,”“practised ethics” and “practical challenges.” Two subthemes were generated: “actingis the key” and “the importance of the system surrounding the child.”Conclusion: The narrative therapists experienced NT as applicable for children dueto its potential to facilitate a safe place that integrates the child's current stage ofdevelopment. NT does not serve to “fit” the child but should be perceived as a practised ethic. Therapists accentuated challenges working with NT, specifically related to outsider-witnessing and staying in a decentred position. The results are discussed regarding their contribution to the evolvement of the narrative therapy profession and to the training and supervision of novice practitioners. |
