“…Researchers have found helping persons to alter their stories about illness can help them to achieve acceptance and discover meaning as a way to go beyond the illness (Egnew, ), which makes narrative therapy a good option for treatment. The idea that people are distinct from their problems (White, ) helps them to see themselves as separate from their illness (Nutting, ) and allows autonomy from the problems experienced (Freedman & Combs, ). Another way externalisation can be useful is by allowing discussion of unique outcomes as times where the individual may not be as affected by chronic illness and consider positive experiences and unique outcomes (Nutting, ).…”

Chronic illness is a prevalent issue for many individuals. Various theoretical approaches have been employed in the psychotherapeutic treatment of chronic illness and the effects it has on the individual with the illness. These approaches frequently overlook the strengths of the person living with the illness as well as fail to address aspects of modern life such as social media use of the client and the influence it holds for those living with a chronic illness. This paper proposes the application of narrative therapy and social media use as a narrative therapeutic technique when treating those who suffer from chronic illness. A clinical vignette is used to illustrate possible applications of therapeutic techniques in conjunction with therapist‐directed social media use. Implications for clinical practice and limitations are discussed.

“…Furthermore, elementary school students are allowed to understand animal behaviors and ecology through puppetry and learn more about annoying animals, such as bats, skunks, snakes, mice, spiders, centipedes, cockroaches, and mosquitos [13]. There are also therapists for children with chronic diseases in the United States who use puppets to help sick children talk with their families and medical staff; sick children can express different mood changes through different puppets; therapists encourage children to articulate various mood states through different puppet roles so that puppets can become a medium for children with chronic diseases to strengthen communication with their families [14]. Puppetry is also a functional approach to crossing the barriers of languages and beliefs among different nationalities; Indians believe that even people who are not antagonistic to each other, such as Iranians and Afghans, Israelis, and Americans, can sit down to drink and talk about the performances after watching puppet shows [15].…”

As an ancient performing art, the puppet show was popular entertainment for early civilians. However, with the advance of media technology, traditional puppetry declined gradually, and old puppets became relics displayed in museums. In this study, an interactive role-play system for learning and sustaining traditional glove puppetry is proposed. Constructed with RFID and multimedia techniques to replace the traditional static displays of puppetry, the proposed system allows in-person experiencing of operating real puppets of famous roles. Statistical analyses of the comments collected from expert interviews and the users’ answers to a questionnaire survey lead to the following findings: (1) it is easy to understand and operate the puppets as physical interfacing with the system; (2) the interactive system design conforms to the 3E indicators of easiness, effectiveness, and enjoyableness; (3) the users’ experiences of role-plays emulating experts’ puppet shows help learn the knowledge and skills of the traditional puppetry; (4) in-person operations of real puppets and experiences of RFID-based interactive interfacing bring the users feelings of pleasure and senses of achievement as puppet performers; and (5) the content designs and operations of the puppet characters can turn into a fine material for learning the traditional puppetry.

“…Narrative therapy (NT) recognizes that life occurs in multiple contexts and is lived and told through many different stories (White and Epston, 1990). When dealing with a difficult problem such as CF, the person and problem commonly become conflated, and the person's stories become subjugated to the predominant problem narrative (Nutting, 2015). The duality between needing to live 'the CF life' to stay healthy, and needing to live a 'normal life' can also lead to confusion and stress, as this tension can result in perceived failures and negative self-schemas (Brewin, 2006).…”

Cystic fibrosis and its treatment can have substantial functional and emotional impacts on patients and their families. This feasibility study assessed a new cystic fibrosis treatment, Metacognitive Intervention of Narrative Imagery, integrating narrative and meta-cognitive therapies with mental imagery. A total of 13 patients, aged 10–17 years, received three 1-hour sessions and were assessed on emotional functioning, anxiety, and depression at baseline and 4 and 8 weeks post-baseline. Participants had significant improvements in anxiety, and changes in emotional functioning and anxiety had a medium effect size. Participants and parents rated Metacognitive Intervention of Narrative Imagery highly on usability and favourability. Further clinical trials are indicated.
