Training

Miracle Mile Community Practice is an internationally recognized teaching and training site for narrative therapy. Over the years, we have worked with MFT trainees and interns, as well as MSW interns from local universities, including USC, Cal State Fullerton, Antioch University, and others. In addition to supervision, training is provided on a weekly basis covering such topics such as:

• philosophical underpinnings and ethical commitments of narrative therapy
• narrative theory
• traditional power vs. modern power
• deconstruction
• naming and externalizing problems
• mapping the problem and encountering unique outcomes
• double listening and the absent but implicit
• what about empathy? Is narrative therapy practiced ‘from the neck up?’
• story development vs. problem solving
• tracing stories backward and forward through time
• genealogy and reverse genealogy
• collective narrative practices
• dismantling mother blame
