Abstract

GUIMARAES, Nina Vasconcelos. The influence of appreciative voices on our identity building. Nova perspect. sist. [online]. 2018, vol.27, n.62, pp. 55-70. ISSN 0104-7841.  http://dx.doi.org/10.21452/2594-43632018v27n62a04.

Alongside the prerequisites of Social constructionism, collaborative and dialogical approaches, narrative therapy and appreciative inquiry, I present a clinical case that exemplifies post-modern therapies concepts through a process of transforming talk that occurs from dialogical exchanges between the therapist and the client. In this article I share this clinical experience that increases our comprehension of dialogical self’s conception, the polyvocal composition of our identity, contemplating that we are built through our relationships and the meaningful people’s voices recognition to rebuild an appreciative version of ourselves.

Keywords : Narrative Self; Identity; Post-modernity; Dialogue; Collaborative and narrative therapy.
