Chapter 15: Narrative Therapy Video Blog

Video Title: Narrative Session with Dr. Madigan and David about Frustration 

   In this video the boy is gently coaxed to tell about his problem with frustration. This stems from his feelings of boredom and difficulty in comprehending various subject matter due to this boredom. The majority of t is linked to the stores told abut historical figures, as they are perceived as flat and unexciting. The boy believes if the stories were presented better it would help with his problem and thus his boredom. This is where the therapist steps in and suggests the boy move towards a 'preferred narrative', however rather than create it for himself directly he should create it for the 'boring' narratives of the historical characters he learns about in social studies.
