I am a family
therapist interested in developing international partnerships in
Scandinavia and the UK to help create new arenas for narrative
practices, such as museums. I want to find alternative contexts where
even the walls speak to us of history, art, music, stories, things we
like to see, think about and remember. That way, getting to know people
crossing borders today can be more about seeing people as bearers of
living history, some with migration stories to tell, that can be
co-created in a narrative tradition in ways that make us stronger, help
rebuild identities while at the same time broadening and enriching the
identities of communities. |

I have been
working with a narrative approach for three years now. I am working with
children, teenagers and their parents with problems ranging from
violence, drug- and alcohol-related problems, conflicts within the
family, loneliness, trauma, self-criticism,
etc. I am interested in everything that has to
do with narrative practice, but am especially
drawn to the definitional ceremony which I try
to arrange as often as possible.
I hope that linking with other practitioners I can meet people who by
chance
are
in Norway, or who would like to come visit us here. Exchange of
experiences would be very stimulating! Sharing some of our work would be
good. Maybe we could come visit other practitioners abroad? |

I am a social worker and a
family therapist. My daily work is as a counsellor at a public
Family Counselling Office where I practise a narrative approach to
therapy. I completed the second International Post Graduate Course
in Narrative Therapy at Dulwich Centre in 2005. I also do some
teaching in narrative ways of thinking at different
educational institutions and travel a lot throughout Norway to give
supervision and counselling at different workplaces within the field
of social work and family therapy.

I am a
social worker and family therapist. I have had a strong personal and
professional interest in narrative practice for the last 15 years. I
have followed a lot of Michael White’s workshops and I completed the
first International Post Graduate course last year. I practice narrative
therapy and community work at an out patient family unit two days a
week. The rest of the time I teach, supervise and consult with people
about narrative practice all over Scandinavia. I have written a book
about narrative therapy (1999), translated to Swedish and Danish. I am
working with Dulwich Centre in organizing a Narrative therapy and
community work conference in Norway in June 2007. |

Many human expressions linked to
gender and/or sexuality are being diagnosed as mental disorders in the
world of psychiatry. This negative labelling is of no use for the
'clients' involved. Sexuality is not a disease, it is a realm in which
we can express ourselves in multitudes of ways. The diagnosing of
expressions of gender and/or sexuality induce shame and pain and
contributes to sustain bad therapeutic practices. Listening to the
subjective narratives of the people we work with, renders them a field
where their stories can grow positively and where they can be of much
more help to others that may feel differently. There is a great need to
take sexuality away from pathology and into the diversity of human
expressions. We need a network of professionals who see human diversity
this way and thus can contribute to better cultural understandings of
these matters. This is one of my hopes for connection. |
