Marriage and Family Therapy
Description
Although marriage and family therapy training programs publish demographic data, there is little attention drawn to how such markers impact therapists’ work and well-being. This is particularly pertinent for narrative therapists given the focus on how dominant discourses directly shape life stories. Through qualitative interviews and survey data, this study aims to uncover emerging connections between intersectionality, locations of practice and living, community activism, well-being, and self-perceptions about therapy. The goal of this research is to open up further exploration of how narrative therapy may challenge itself and the significance of its operation as a formative and embodied practice.
