The Use of Personal Narratives in the Helping Professions: A Teaching Casebook is a collection of personal narratives, short stories, and poetry about mental illness and other life-affecting problems, mostly in the context of family life. Beginning with problems related to childhood, the stories range through adolescence, adulthood, and old age. The book explores family relationships affected by physical illness, mental illness, racism, sexual abuse, domestic violence, and much more. No academic description can convey the feelings, meaning, and effects on the individual or family of mental illness or other psychosocial stressors. Only narratives and stories based on direct experience--exactly what you'll find in The Use of Personal Narratives in the Helping Professions--can offer this perspective. Each selection is accompanied by questions for discussion; selected reading lists are provided with each chapter.
