Unlocking the Narrative A Comprehensive Guide

“Unlocking the Narrative: A Comprehensive Guide for Therapists, written by Dr Crystal Meletiou, is a valuable
introduction to the narrative paradigm. The author succeeds in opening the philosophical background of narrative
thinking, while explaining the relationship between the paradigm and the extensive narrative methods, making it an
essential tool for Narrative Therapists. Delving into every dimension of Narrative Therapy, this captivating guide is a
treasure trove of knowledge and techniques.” Emeritus Professor Julian Müller, Department of Practical Theology and
Mission Studies, University of Pretoria “In her new book, Unlocking the Narrative: A Comprehensive Guide for
Therapists, Dr Crystal Meletiou, provides valuable perspectives on the value and implementation of Narrative Therapy.
The book is modelled on solid academic principles and is written in such a way that it is accessible to a wide
audience. Using creative metaphors, the author exploits and develops the key concepts related to Narrative Therapy. I
wholeheartedly recommend this book to academics, students of Narrative Therapy, therapists as well as those who wish to
discover the specific significance and value of individual stories”. Prof. Jan-Albert van den Berg, Department of
Practical and Missional Theology, Faculty of Theology and Religion, University of the Free State. “Narrative Therapy
has become a well-known concept. Unfortunately, it is not always easily accessible, let alone easy to manage. In this
publication, the author made it intelligible, yet still in an academic manner. I am confident that this book will
greatly benefit a wide range of readers.” Extra-ordinary Professor Malan Nel, Department of Practical Theology and
Mission Studies, University of Pretoria.
