This book introduces the concept of narrative therapy, which focuses on the stories people tell about their lives and experiences. The authors argue that problems arise when these stories do not adequately represent a person's lived experience. Therapy, therefore, becomes a process of "storying" or "restorying" one's life, helping individuals to reframe and understand their experiences in a more empowering way.

The book emphasizes the importance of authorship and reauthorship of one's life story, encouraging people to take ownership of their narratives and find new ways to view their problems. Through delightful examples, White and Epston illustrate how narrative therapy can help individuals and families transform their lives by privileging their lived experiences and promoting a reflexive posture.
