AB - The purpose of this study is to provide a method to apply re-authoring conversation of narrative therapy in the context of Christian counseling. To achieve this goal, it first reviews previous studies on Christian counseling’s application of narrative therapy, and explores the possible ways to apply narrative therapy to Christian counseling. It then analyzes key concepts and therapeutic process of re-authoring conversation by investigating Michael White’s “Liam’s case,” which may be considered one of the best examples of re-authoring conversation. Based on the reviews on current Christian counseling’s approaches to narrative therapy and characteristics of re-authoring conversation, the study suggests four principles for using re-authoring conversation in Christian counseling context; it should be consistent with christian worldview, needs to focus on client’s problems in making an alternative narrative, should consider the level of client’s Christian faith and biblical knowledge, and should master biblical themes related presenting problems. Guided by these principles, the study provides Christian perspectives on each step of re-authoring conversation, by employing biblical stories, God’s attributes, and God’s divine plan. Finally, it provides the implications of Christian counseling approach discussed in the present study, which focuses on clinical invervention to solve presenting problems, and suggests empirical studies in future on the clinical effectiveness of this approach.
