Abstract

Gregory Bateson's concept of double description and Michael White and David Epston's notion of doing family therapy from a literary or narrative analogy are explored in relation to the reauthoring of therapist's stories. This exploration attempts to answer the question of what self-management, supervision, and consultation would look like if we applied the same techniques that we use with therapeutic clients? Various ideas and questions are presented which address the following areas: (1) rewriting our stories about clients, (2) rewriting our stories about ourselves, (3) rewriting other therapist's stories, and (4) rewriting industrial consultation stories.
