| Summary: | In this paper I explore the use of metaphors in the creation of externalised problem narratives
for individuals and larger collectives, as well as in the creation of preferred alternative narratives.
Through practice examples, I relate some of the ways in which I have been working with
imagination and metaphor in my own context in Western Australia. This includes therapeutic
work with individuals, as well as collective processes in which I have been able to apply narrative
principles. How this connects to the broader field of narrative work is also explored, as are some
issues related to ethics and power. |
