Abstract:

What actually happens in counselling interactions?

How does counselling bring about change?

How do clients end up producing new and alternative stories of their
lives and relationships?

By addressing these questions and others, Peter Muntigl explores the
narrative counselling process in the context where it is enacted: the
unfolding conversation between counsellor and clients. Through a
transdisciplinary approach that combines conversation analysis and
systemic functional linguistic theory, Muntigl demonstrates how
language is used in couples counselling, how language use changes over
the course of counselling, and how this process provides clients with
new linguistic resources that help them change their social
relationships.

This book will be a valuable resource not only for linguists and
discourse analysts, but also for researchers and practitioners in the
fields of counselling, psychotherapy, psychology, and medicine.
