摘要：Aim: To examine the feasibility of using the narrative approach for managing childhood
mental health problems. Methods: The sample consisted of 10 children aged 9-12 years,
who were rated as having problems on the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire
(Teacher version), of which 5 were in the experimental and 5 in the control group. The
experimental group received a 10-session package based on the narrative approach. Both
groups were assessed using the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire, Pictorial
Instrument for Children and Adolescents, Children’s Global Assessment Scale and an
open interview pre and post therapy. Results: A reduction in the problem behaviors of
the children was noted, both on teacher and self-report and an improvement in global
functioning occurred. Conclusions: Narrative approach may add to the armamentarium
to manage childhood mental health problem.
