Abstract


In Retelling the Stories of our Lives: Everyday Narrative Therapy to Draw Inspiration and Transform Experience, David Denborough presents a well written, detailed and easy to follow account of an alternative form of psychotherapy. Guided by his personal and professional experiences2, this Australian therapist informs his general audience of the significance of understanding affective occurrences and of bearing witness to stress evoking events through the act of writing and sharing.
