Compare and contrast alternative and preferred stories.
What will be an ideal response?
Alternative stories refer to other versions of life as lived (White, 1995). They are different stories about the same lived experience, as told by the person whose life is being narrated. The importance of alternative stories is that they help a client to recognize that there have been occasions when they have experienced themselves and events in a different way than which they are accustomed. Alternative stories set the stage for the client’s discussion of preferred stories about a client’s hoped-for destination or status in life. A client’s preferred stories can only become available for work in therapy once the client’s alternative stories are recognized and identified as preferable to the original narrative (White, 1995).
