The concept of narrative therapy, created by Michael White and David Epston, is used to demonstrate how to address potential violence. Narrative therapy suggests people organize and give meaning to their experiences through the stories they tell. The case study of Dan is introduced to assist the reader in applying the narrative therapy concepts introduced in this chapter. Externalizing the story is a technique used in narrative therapy that encourages persons to objectify and personify, the problems that they experience as oppressive. Kopp stressed the importance of engaging in client's story through attending to the importance of language and metaphor as therapeutic tools. The chapter reviews a six‐step approach: notice metaphors; explore the metaphor using the client's own language; broaden the exploration through questioning; assess feelings and emotions associated with the image; use the metaphor as an agent of change; and bring the metaphor back to the presenting life problems.
