XAT511 Narrative and Storytelling will introduce the students to the practice of storytelling in therapy and how by working with narratives through expressive arts therapy they can create change, healing and development in their clients. They will explore the narrative forms of storytelling, sand tray work, song and poetry writing in different cultural contexts, and gain insights into expressive media that can support their work. Ethical issues of how to protect these stories and who is appropriate to share them with will also be discussed, and they will also explore the role of new media and social media as a storytelling medium.
