Description
Description:
All expressions of life are multi-layered, including people’s descriptions of the problems they bring to therapy. An appreciation of this multi-layeredness of expression presents therapists with a multiplicity of options for therapeutic conversations. How can the multiple layers of expression be identified? How does this contribute to a range of options for re-authoring conversations?
Educational Objectives:
- To state the practices that render visible the multi-layered nature of expressions of life.
- To describe the skills that contribute to the rich description of some of the layers of people’s expressions that are usually neglected.
