Describe thin descriptions.
What will be an ideal response?
Thin descriptions exist because although clients have permitted the description to become meaningful to themselves, they have not allowed space for the complexities and contradiction of life, including their own complexity (Morgan, 2002). Clients tend to think of their stories in negative or positive sound bites. Thin descriptions of one’s story may involve blaming, criticizing, and labeling of oneself and others. They are inclined to be surface descriptions of complex human emotions and interactions. For instance, people might label themselves with such thin descriptions as “bad,” “troublemaker,” “loser,” or “lazy.” Sometimes thin descriptions may hide strengths and ignore a more thickly described account of our lives.
