We welcome you to the Journal of Contemporary Narrative Therapy (JCNT), a free online journal, dedicated to re-imagining the future of narrative therapy practice in a unique collaborative, anti-journal format.
It is our hope that the Journal of Contemporary Narrative Therapy will serve as a spark that reignites the spirit of adventure, innovation and discovery that is so central to the commitments and concerns of narrative therapy practice. As an anti-journal we seek the publication of innovative papers that attempt to capture practices and ideas that are ‘in their very making.’ We are not seeking papers that are ‘polished’ or that attempt to present ‘completed’ ideas. Rather, it is our hope that the Journal of Contemporary Narrative Therapy will serve as a co-laboratory of invention, where half-baked and novel ideas and practices will be shared with the broader narrative family therapy community in the midst of their very invention. With this purpose in mind, the Journal of Contemporary Narrative Therapy will not operate like a traditional journal where papers, and the practices and ideas within them, are already several years old before they are published. Instead, the Journal of Contemporary Narrative Therapy is committed to making the work of author/innovators available as quickly as possible and encourage the participatory engagement of other narrative therapists who will engage directly with author/innovators to study, explore, try-out, and expand the ideas to the furthest extent possible.
