N Narrative Therapy is a treatment modality that primarily views one’s identity as a running storyline or narrative. While many people played a role in its development, Michael White was credited as the primary author of this theory. The main goal of Narrative Therapy is to encourage the client to view his/her life in context of a running narrative, and what events are interpreted as a result. Individuals who undergo this therapy often find that this approach is flexible regarding the needs of the client, as it adjusts based on the narrative.
``The most powerful therapeutic process I know is to contribute to rich story development.`` - Michael White
