This month features the work of Glenda Fredman from the UK. In a thoughtful and moving presentation entitled ‘Coordinating stories in therapeutic conversations’, Glenda discusses her work with a family in which a member has died. She also provides a framework for ways of approaching difficult and complex conversations in therapy. We hope you will join us and participate on the on-line discussion forum.

4. One year program in narrative therapy 2013
There’s still time to combine the conference experience in March with a one year introductory course in narrative therapy! This involves three parts. Part I involves attending the 5-day pre-conference Level 1 intensive in narrative therapy, a day with a Dulwich Centre Faculty member, and the conference in March. Part II involves participating in an on-line reading, writing and learning program. Part III involves returning to Adelaide for a Level 2 intensive (with Jill Freedman, USA) and two extra days with members of Dulwich Centre Faculty in November. This program costs $2450. Register here. This program will also count as fulfilling the pre-requisites to enter the Masters Program that we hope will be running from 2014 (see below).

7. International Journal of Narrative Therapy and Community Work 4th issue for 2012 … subscribe for 2013 now
In late December, we launched the final journal issue of the International Journal of Narrative Therapy and Community Work for 2012. G’day and welcome to the final issue of the journal for 2012, and a special issue it is. It begins with a long awaited paper by Jill Freedman exploring the absent but implicit. This paper clarifies and extends key aspects of this significant narrative practice and shares a number of practice examples. We’ll be publishing further explorations on the absent but implicit in the new year. The second section features a paper by Mary Heath on critical thinking. This follows a number of workshops that Mary has offered to narrative practitioners and which have been described by participants as invaluable. We’re delighted to include this paper here. These first two papers represent significant contributions to the extending the field of narrative therapy. Part III then delves into practice, with a moving description of a legacy project that took place in a Californian high school. Tanya Pearlman and the young people with whom she was working have brought together writing practices and narrative therapy to create a legacy of their own. The second paper in this section conveys how Warren Whyte enabled young people in detention and young people trying to change their relationship to drug use to make contributions to each other in ‘passing hope around’. And finally, this year’s journal issues, ends with an interview of Vikki Reynolds by Sekneh Hammoud-Beckett in relation to bridging the worlds of therapy and activism. It’s also possible to watch a video on this site of a presentation that Vikki gave recently here at Dulwich Centre. This journal is now on-line, meaning that people from very diverse contexts can access it and we can keep the subscription rate low ($39). It’s still possible to register as a member for 2012 and receive access to all four issues from 2012. You can do this clicking here! You can also nowsubscribe for 2013.
