mental health and stories

Submitted by Paul Grobstein on Sun, 03/29/2009 - 5:42pm.
What struck me particularly about this session was the juxtaposition between my own arguments that thinking about "story" was important to thinking about mental health issues in terms of the brain, and Debbie and Corey's concern for paying attention not only to the stories of those in need of mental health care but those of the care-givers as well.  The implied reciprocity of story creation and recreation seems to me particularly important in a variety of mental health contexts (including but not limited to psychotherapy) and beyond.
