Abstract
The telling of stories in times of trouble is not a new concept; however, it is a practice that needs to be rediscovered in our highly technical age. It is both built on received wisdom from ancient civilisations and informed by contemporary therapeutic practice. A healing story may be an old traditional tale, or it could be adapted to address the particular needs of an individual or a group. Some people create their own stories for children; others prefer to use existing tales. The StoryBuilding approach is used for children and young people to express therapeutic needs in story form, creating stories to suit the needs of a particular child or children in particular situations. Many of the therapeutic stories that develop through this approach move into other artistic activities, especially drama. It is ideally model for teachers working with children with special needs or children at risk, but it can also be developed within the curriculum with mainstream students.
