The principles of Narrative School Counseling are demonstrated in this actual session that John conducts with 14 year-old Matt and his mother. Matt is having problems getting adjusted to high school. His grades are suffering and he is concerned with his mother�s intervening to make sure that he completes his schoolwork. Gerald Monk participates as a reflector and finally, Matt and his mom respond to the reflections. This interview is a good demonstration of Narrative Counseling.
