Description
The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of using narrative therapy to help reduce substance use within individuals. This qualitative and longitudinal study will include 20 pre-interviewed participants in their early 30s. The twenty participants will be divided into two groups based on similar patterns. Interviews will be structured into ten weekly, one-hour individual sessions, focusing on externalization, Re-authoring, and meaning-making. Additionally, they will participate in a total of five bi-weekly group therapy sessions to expand their personal narratives connecting to their tobacco usage. Implementing these Narrative Therapy interventions will help decrease the urge to use tobacco. This will indicate that Narrative Therapy has effective results and can lead to a reduction in tobacco use within individuals.
