Unlocking the Narrative: A Comprehensive Guide for Therapists

"Unlocking the Narrative: A Comprehensive Guide for Therapists" is a valuable introduction to the narrative paradigm. The author succeeds in opening the philosophical background of narrative thinking, while explaining the relationship between the paradigm and the extensive narrative methods, making it an essential tool for Narrative Therapists. Delving into every dimension of Narrative Therapy, this captivating guide is a treasure trove of knowledge and techniques."Emeritus Professor Julian Müller, Department of Practical Theology and Mission Studies, University of Pretoria

"In her new book, Unlocking the Narrative: A Comprehensive Guide for Therapists, Dr Crystal Meletiou, provides valuable perspectives on the value and implementation of Narrative Therapy. The book is modelled on solid academic principles and is written in such a way that it is accessible to a wide audience. Using creative metaphors, the author exploits and develops the key concepts related to Narrative Therapy. I wholeheartedly recommend this book to academics, students of Narrative Therapy, therapists as well as those who wish to discover the specific significance and value of individual stories".

Professor Jan-Albert van den Berg, Department of Practical and Missional Theology, Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of the Free State

"Narrative Therapy has become a well-known concept. Unfortunately, it is not always easily accessible, let alone easy to manage. In this publication, the author made it intelligible, yet still in an academic manner. I am confident that this book will greatly benefit a wide range of readers."

Extra-ordinary Professor Malan Nel, Department of Practical Theology and Mission Studies, University of Pretoria.
