This book provides scholarly and applied perspectives on culturally sensitive narrative interventions for culturally diverse and immigrant children and adolescents. A resilience model and strengths-based approach form the basis for responding to stressors of migration and the acculturation process through the use of narrative, storytelling, drawings, and puppetry techniques. The authors emphasize and illustrate the need to incorporate evidence-based approaches and cultural understanding when developing and implementing narrative educational and therapeutic interventions.
In this informative and charming book, the authors demonstrate the power of narrative to address tough personal and cultural issues that immigrant children and adolescents face today. They show how storytelling - from poetry to puppetry - can bring young people together within a culture while opening them up to the complex, multicultural world that is contemporary America. Written with erudition and passion, this book is a wonderful resource for teachers, counselors, school psychologists, and others who want to make a positive difference in the lives and the life stories of immigrant youth. -- Dan P. McAdams, author of The Redemptive Self: Stories Americans Live By
