Narrative therapy and Community practice draws its inspiration from the social constructionism movement (Gergen), Postmodern positions in philosophy (Foucault, Derrida), developments in cultural anthropology and sociology (Myerhoff, Geertz, Bruner, Goffman), the third wave feminist theories etc. It is part of collaborative therapies, emphasizing the equal relationship between therapist and client, and was developed by the team of Michael White, an Australian psychotherapist, and David Epston, a New Zealand psychotherapist.
Narrative Therapy is practiced by specialized narrative therapists around the world, as well as in Greece, and has a wide range of action and application, such as mental health, business, education, and collective social actions (activism).

Narrative Therapy provides a critical and reflective look at the prevailing views of modern psychotherapy that want the person to be composed of specific and inherited characteristics and understand reality as relationally and socially constructed. The goal of Narrative Therapy is the highlighting of power and authority relations that produce, maintain, or perpetuate people's problems, the deconstruction of the dominant social discourses that lead to the pathologizing of the individual and the cultivation of an attitude of passivity, and the questioning of the privileged fundamental knowledge in healing and the world.Through the above, consultees in collaboration with the therapist proceed to co-construct new meanings for their lives freed from the omnipotence of the dominant and internalized problematic narratives for their lives.
