Cattanach, Ann. 1997. Children's Stories in Play Therapy. London: Jessica Kingsley Publishers.
* For therapists working with children, one of the main obstacles to effective treatment is the difficulty
of finding an appropriate means of communication; both in terms of the child's expression of thoughts
and feelings and in terms of their understanding of what the therapist is trying to convey to them.
Stories have traditionally been used as a method of communicating ideas to children yet stories can equally be used by children to reveal their internal life and emotions, and contain their experiences.
Based on her extensive experience as a play therapist, Ann Cattanach here explores the therapeutic value of story-making with children. Incorporating stories from children and by other authors, the book examines the common themes and metaphors that emerge, the purpose of stories, and the communication that they can engender between the therapist and the child. Case studies and specific examples are used to show how the stories are created and developed, and how an equal relationship between narrator and listener which facilitates the unfolding of the child's story can help gain the child's trust, thus creating an environment that is conducive to the therapeutic process.

* Extending her earlier work on the use of stories to bring about healing change, Alida Gersie's new book develops both the theory and practice of storymaking with a focus on group settings. Using examples from her work in many different countries, AG reflects on the dynamics of the storytelling process and explores the experiences and attitudes most frequently brought to story work. She looks at the impact of race and class on both group leader and members of the group, and clarifies how these affect the group's functioning. She explores, amongst other topics, the various types of narrative and their uses, mutuality and reciprocity, the need to promote systematically the clients' tolerance for the expression of emotional range, and the empowerment that can result from the group storytelling process.

The stories include "Stone Soup," "The Enormous Turnip," "Coyote Catches a Fox," "The Gingerbread Man," "Rapunzel," and "The Fisherman and His Wife." To save time and effort making felt figures, DLN offers a practical system for reusing stock characters, props, and settings: each item is numbered, filed numerically, and pulled for certain stories as needed. As in a repertory theater company, the same actors and backdrops might appear in a variety of productions.

Druts, Yefim & E. Druts & Alexi Gesslerby. Translated by James Riordan. 1992. Russian Gypsy Tales (International Folktale Series). Interlink Books.
* The 36 tales in this collection are the result of the long interaction between the self-reliant gypsies and their Russian neighbors, as collected by two Moscow researchers. In the introduction, the translator explores the mysterious history of the people who call themselves Rom, perpetual outsiders whose probable origins were in India; in Russia, as elsewhere, some settled and others continued to roam while their traditions endured--including these stories, whose action vividly reveals the gypsies' close-knit society. Some of these stories are heroic, others are romantic; there are tales of fools, of clever tricksters outwitting each other, and of the devil; of ghosts foiled by the power of the church or horrifyingly triumphant. The vibrant characters are often poor. Though Rom society is male-dominated, there are also clever, assertive women--and one who, threatened with rape, literally becomes stone. It is a society that is often outside the law of the czars, with horse-stealing a normal activity yet with its own strict moral code, including hospitality and taking care of its own.

A list of courses in and/or about storytelling (oral narrative).
Two raisons d'etre of this list are:
1) To let people know where they might study storytelling within academically-accredited institutions.
2) To promote the idea that Storytelling Studies is an academic discipline.
Storytelling Studies courses can be taught in Storytelling Studies Programs and Departments,
which can have
ABOUT (historical, ethnographic, technical) and
HOW-TO (studio) sections.
