Abstract
When I think about the purpose of this chapter, what I am brought back to is the human need to share stories in order to make sense of the world. In this chapter, I will discuss the place and purpose of story and narrative at the heart of reflective practice, focusing specifically on the use of the 6-Part-Story-Method (or 6PSM) – a dramatherapeutic approach to storytelling, and the focus for my doctoral research, from which the work in this chapter has been drawn.
