This research portfolio illustrates Narrative Therapy in palliative care using three stories of ethnographic fiction. Ethnographic fiction blends truth and imagination to create a story that seeks to engage the reader in a situation that is both authentic and instructive. The stories illustrate issues counsellors commonly encounter when working with people who are dying and those people significant to them, and how a counsellor informed by narrative ideas might respond therapeutically. The first story is an epistolary story that illustrates the narrative practice of therapeutic letter writing to record counselling conversations. The therapeutic conversations within the letters detail how a counsellor might use a platform of caregiving to support a person to re-author their life. The second story draws attention to the narrative ideas and practices a counsellor might engage with to address pathological labels that are applied to people in palliative care. The story focuses on narrative practice with people who have been constructed as “in denial” or “difficult”. The third story illustrates the therapeutic conversations a counsellor might have with someone whose preferred relationship with cancer and death contravenes medical evidence. It is the story of a young woman who takes up a stance of hope and believes she is going to be cured by a miracle. As a methodology ethnographic fiction provides a window into practice by transporting the reader into the counselling room. The stories have clear implications for their use as pedagogy for counselling especially in palliative care where aspects of practice are more clearly illustrated in context rather than described in a traditional academic paper. |
