Medios narrativos para fines terapéuticos

release date: Jan 01, 1993
Medios narrativos para fines terapéuticos
Los dos grandes territorios que Epston y White exploran para nosotros en este libro son los siguientes: por un lado, el asunto de la externalizacion del problema; por otro, y consecuentemente, la variedad de formas en que podemos usar terapeuticamente la palabra escrita. De este modo, y a traves de numerosos ejemplos, el lector puede elegir entre una gran variedad de nuevas intervenciones y cosechar asi los frutos de un nuevo terreno que ya ha sido cuidadosamente arado, regado y sembrado para nosotros. Al final, Epston y White nos invitan a preguntarnos: ?como podemos hacer posible la escritura de relatos personales y colectivos que liberen y curen, cuando los relatos dominantes estan tan saturados de problemas? Al publicar este libro, los autores estan compartiendo algunos de sus descubrimientos en relacion con este interrogante. ?Cual es la disposicion del profesional a unirse a ellos en esta exploracion y a dotarse de habilidades en el uso de medios literarios para reanimar la vida de sus clientes y de sus familias?

Empty Seats
Colorful, prolific stage, film, and television producer Michael "Chalky" White was born in Scotland was sent, at the age of seven, to a Swiss private school which he hated. He studied at the Sorbonne, worked on Wall Street, and as assistant to Sir Peter Daubeny, making contacts with Brecht''s Berliner Ensemble, the Moscow Art Theatre and the Comédie Française--internationally renowned companies then at their peak. In 1960, he brought Merce Cunningham and John Cage to London for the first time and created a new market for modern dance. A legendary social butterfly, he was an enthusiastic and generous host who delighted in mixing up stars from film, theater, fashion and rock music with aristocrats and civilians, keeping Swinging London swinging. In his recitation of the events of his extraordinary showbusiness life, White describes how he helped put the Monty Python team on the map and made a fortune on The Rocky Horror Show and A Chorus Line. Fabulous fun for theater fans.
