Lynne Angus, Ph.D., C.Psych. is a Professor of Psychology at York
University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and is a past president of
both the International Society for Psychotherapy Research and North
American Chapter, Society for Psychotherapy Research. Dr. Angus has
an active psychotherapy practice in which she specializes in
narrative-focused experiential psychotherapy. She is clinical
supervisor for brief therapy treatments at the East End Community
Health Clinic in Toronto. Her research interests include the
development of a narrative processes model and an assessment
interview and coding system for psychotherapy discourse. She has
published several papers on the analysis of metaphor themes in
psychotherapy sessions. The Narrative Processes Coding System has
been translated into 2 languages and research collaborations in
Finland, Portugal, and Spain are underway. Current grant-supported
efforts include the empirical analysis of narrative change in the
experiential treatment of depression as well as the systematic
analysis of narrative coherence in psychotherapy sessions. She has
published over 20 publications in research journals and
psychotherapy-related texts.
In addition to their academic work, both Angus and McLeod are
practicing clinicians who see clients, train and supervise clinical
psychologists in psychotherapy and counseling skills and are
engaged in psychotherapy process and outcome research. In their
work, they attempt to fully integrate theory and research into
practice, and they believe that each component of the
process—practice, theory, evaluation/research—inform each other.
John McLeod has held appointments in universities in the UK, New
Zealand and Italy, and is currently Professor of Counselling at the
Institute for Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy, Dublin,
and Professor of Psychology, University of Oslo. He is committed to
promoting the relevance of research as a means of informing therapy
practice and improving the quality of services that are available
to clients, and has received an award from the British Association
for Counselling and Psychotherapy for his exceptional contribution
to research. His writing has influenced a generation of trainees in
the field of counselling, counselling psychology and psychotherapy,
and his books are widely adopted on training programmes across the
world.
"This volume is an extremely valuable resource. It tells the
fascinating story of the centrality of storying in human lives and
their counsel — including the history of the narrative turn in
psychology and the newest developments in theory and research. I
recommend it most highly."
*Michael J. Mahoney*
"The growing interest in constructivist approaches, nontraditional
approaches towards research, and specifically narrative as an
organizing concept makes it an extremely timely book. The
contributors look like a who’s who in the area . . . . a well
planned book, with the right organization and the right people."
*Jeremy Safran*
"Overall, clinicians will find this book valuable because they will
be introduced to different approaches to using narrative ideas in
therapy, with sufficient detail and case history material to make
the ideas come alive. Theoreticians will get sophisticated
discussions of the nature of narrative as it relates to the nature
of the person, personality development, and personality change. And
finally, researchers will get ‘state of the field’ knowledge of
narrative research on therapy and narrative methods for doing
research. Overall, this is an important and exciting book on a hot
topic, filled with new ideas, sophisticated research, and case
examples. If you wanted to know about this important development in
the field of psychology in general, and psychotherapy in
particular, this is the place to come."
*Art Bohart*
"With an excellent cast of characters, both new and old, Angus and
McLeod′s ambitious anthology of current thought on narrative and
therapy bridges the generations of scholars and therapists within
this tradition, creating a lively community of the widely varying
voices. Narrative is a truly integrative element of psychotherapy,
applying with equal force to cognitive-behavioral, psychodynamic,
experiential and family systems approaches. As such, this book
successfully lays out the newly emergent approach, and points out
new opportunities for integration at the levels of both theory and
practice, with implications that reach far beyond clinical
assessment and treatment, to the nature of self and culture. This
book maps the territory of narrative and psychotherapy for the next
generation of therapeutic narratologists."
*Robert Elliott, Ph.D.*
As no other volume brings together original contributions in
narrative and psychotherapy from practitioners, researchers,
theoreticians from around the world, the Handbook of Narrative and
Psychotherapy should be purchased by libraries that support the
education, practice, and research of professionals in the ′helping′
sciences.
