How does the working alliance and therapeutic relationship differ in narrative approaches from those typically offered in the psychotherapy literature?

What will be an ideal response?

These include the fact that the development of the working alliance may result from specific actions the therapist takes in the beginning of therapy rather than from a general focus on developing the relationship. This may include providing an explanatory narrative that normalizes the client’s current distress. Also, from a narrative perspective, when a client relates a story to the therapist, this act develops the working alliance between counselor and client
