Topic > Narrative therapy: interpsychic perspective vs...

Topic This article examines the historical movements and theories considered in the framework of the development of narrative therapy and reduces each of them to two approaches, an interpsychic or intrapsychic perspective. The combined use of these theories prompted the authors to attempt to explain the most effective and accurate method for encouraging improvements in therapeutic observations in narrative therapy. BackgroundThis article is relevant to the fields of psychology, more specifically in psychoanalysis or psychotherapy, in family therapy and individual therapy. This article may be inadvertently relevant to sociology depending on what information the sociologist is looking for. Even in a historical way, this article refers to the field of philosophy. Since this article was published in 2011, coupled with the fact that the acceptance of the intrapsychic perspective as unconventional in narrative therapy against the backdrop of general systems theory, cybernetics and postmodernism; there haven't been many works that address the same question that's been asked here. Similarly, however, in 1999, Richard Schwartz commented on the diverse effects of his family therapy techniques achieved by recognizing and using the intrapsychic perspective (Schwartz, 1999). While most articles related to family therapy adopt the current interpsychic perspective; and seem unaware of the possibility that there may be a more effective approach, there has been a long-standing discussion about the effectiveness of individual therapy versus using the combined family group. This document inadvertently refers to this discussion. Structure This article is structured as an informative and investigative discussion paper. The i...... half of the article ......greater diligence and objectivity on the part of practicing therapists, and that this recognition of different perspectives during observation will result in more accurate representations and observations (p .145). The authors have used effective secondary sources of evidence to support their argument and have made an acceptable point that will hopefully be further analyzed by psychology professionals from this point on.
