Narrative therapy is based on the post-modern idea that reality is subjective, and is socially constructed through language. In narrative therapy, the therapist explores with the "client" a narrative of events which is less problematic. The objective is to collaborate with the client in developing new narratives that are more empowering and satisfying, providing hope for the future. Narrative therapy also maintains a "A Not Knowing Stance" which is based on the idea that therapists have knowledge of the therapeutic process, but not the content and meaning and peoples' lives.
