Abstract
This article explores constructions of storytelling across educational and psychological contexts and highlights the principles and values that can underpin storytelling practice. This area of interest arose due to the author’s engagement with storytelling in practice as a Trainee Educational Psychologist (TEP). The literature suggests that, in educational contexts, storytelling can be applied as a play-based approach or used to aid literacy development and cross-curricular skills. In the psychological domain, storytelling can be applied as a therapeutic approach to help adults understand children and young people’s (CYP’s) emotional responses. The author argues that storytelling can also be constructed as an interpersonal, dialogic process. Implications for Educational Psychologist (EP) practice will be outlined, such as, how EPs can support parental engagement and reflection on storytelling practice for teaching staff.
