Abstract

The Personal-Story Approach presented here instructs psychotherapy clients how to listen intelligently and courageously to their own accounts of the events and experiences of their lives, as well as how to listen carefully and compassionately to those with whom they seek intimate connectedness, The approach provides clients with the armamentarium to recognize and face their self-deceptions and the means to work them through in their quest for personal authenticity. A case example is provided.
