Narrative Therapy with Spanish Speakers

Narrative Therapy with Spanish Speakers provides counselors, social workers, and other mental health professionals with a variety of culturally responsive bilingual activities developed for use with clients of all ages. Each short chapter covers topics such as fear, acceptance, and trust; the chapters also employ short fictions, sayings, and quotes, all in both Spanish and English, that professionals can share directly with clients. Additional materials on the book's website include audio resources for both counselors and clients, and the book is replete with icons and guides to help counselors quickly find relevant material.
