TLDR
This essay closes with a discussion of the clinical, training, and, especially, research potentials of this systematization of therapy, with an emphasis on narratives.Abstract:
When problematic-symptomatic behaviors are conceived as embedded, retained, and maintained in collective stories, therapy can be described as the transformative process by which patients, families, and therapists co-generate qualitative changes in those stories.

To that specification is devoted the core of this essay, which closes with a discussion of the clinical, training, and, especially, research potentials of this systematization.read more
