TY - JOUR PY - 2015// TI - Standing up to the black cloud: case example of narrative therapy in the motor vehicle sector JO - Journal of social work in disability and rehabilitation A1 - Gibson, Michelle SP - 77 EP - 87 VL - 14 IS - 2 N2 - Using a case study, this article presents narrative therapy as an effective psychotherapy practice for work with victims of motor vehicle accidents (MVA). By troubling the standard cognitive behavioural approaches as deficit focused, narrative therapy is outlined as an approach that is focused on the skills and values present in the client's life; it is an approach that allows the client to take authorship over their concerns and enact change. This paper is meant to be one example of narrative therapy's usefulness and open space for conversation about rehabilitation therapies that focus less on structure and more on strength.
