His lifelong effort to integrate a detailed understanding of ...

Stephen Madigan introduces the theory and practice of the post-structural approach first developed by David Epston and Michael White. This therapeutic theory is founded on the idea that people have many interacting narratives that go into making up their sense of who they are, and that the issues they bring to therapy are not restricted to (or sited within) the clients themselves, but rather are influenced and shaped by cultural discourses about identity and power.
