TL;DR: The authors review three major domains in which narratives are in action: psychotherapy, organizational change, and conflict reduction, and conclude by taking up theoretical issues raised by these practices, and what theoretical orientations are most adequate to the challenge of practice.
Abstract: In various professional fields today, a profusion of practices are inspired by or draw sustenance from narrative inquiry; similarly, narrative inquiry must attend to these practices as they are vital to its future. Ultimately a full fledged dialogue between scholars and practitioners is to be sought. We review three major domains in which narratives are in action: psychotherapy, organizational change, and conflict reduction. We conclude by taking up theoretical issues raised by these practices. Of particular concern are questions of why narratives are effective in social change, and what theoretical orientations are most adequate to the challenge of practice.
