叙事治疗在20世纪80年代后期在澳大利亚和新西兰的家庭治疗竞技场中发展起来。从那时起，它被扩展到其他咨询环境，并围绕着它出现了一个新兴的文学，它位于社会建构主义，后现代主义，后结构主义话语，挑战和迫使重新评估人道主义和传统的心理和咨询话语。该书的先驱作者白色和爱普斯顿明确指出，除其他外，他们受到法国理论家米歇尔·福柯工作的影响，不仅质疑人文主义和心理学的主导假设，而且解决意义，主体性，权力和伦理问题。本文简要介绍了叙事治疗的一些特征，分析了白色和爱普斯顿理论中的福柯主题，探讨了叙事治疗对“治疗文化”中人文主义假设的后结构主义挑战。
Narrative therapy evolved in the family therapy arena in the late 1980s in Australia and New Zealand. Since then it has been extended to other counselling settings and a burgeoning literature has arisen around it. It is situated in the social constructionist, postmodern, poststructuralist discourses that challenge and force a re-evaluation of humanism and traditional psychological and counselling discourses. Its pioneering authors, White and Epston, state clearly that, amongst others, they have been influenced by the work of the French theorist Michel Foucault to not only question the dominant assumptions underlying humanism and psychology, but also to address issues of meaning, subjectivity, power and ethics. This paper briefly outlines some features of narrative therapy, examines the Foucauldian themes in White and Epston's theory, and explores narrative therapy's poststructuralist challenge to humanist assumptions in 'therapy culture'.
