Narrative practice: encouraging preferred identities with male youth who have engaged in sexually abusive behaviours

This thesis examines narrative practice in relation to identities of male youth (12-18) who have engaged in sexually abusive behaviours. To answer the following research question: How do male youth who have engaged in sexually abusive behaviours and participated in a treatment program narrate their experience of changes in their identity? I conducted semi-structured interviews, with male youth who have engaged in sexually abusive behaviours and are residing at Counterpoint House. I employ a narrative analysis and draw from White’s re-authoring map for categories of analysis. Results are examined through a Foucauldian lens and demonstrate that the participants experienced a shift in their identity. / Graduate / narrative practice / narrative therapy / jenniferflower@shaw.ca
