This is an original 1996 handout that David Epston & Sallyann Roth gave out during VSNT's Narrative Ideas and Therapeutic Practice conference in Vancouver.
In this 1987 lecture Michael White begins to clearly outline his steps away from ideas of structuralism and functionalism.
Michael White landed on a rather cheeky idea that the person was not the problem . . . the problem was the problem. Simple right? Hmmmm - not so fast. Two decades before his brief foray into maps, Michael's workshops focused almost entirely on the politics and practice behind locating problems and persons within cultural, contextual and relational contexts.
