The Effectiveness of Narrative Therapy With Young People With Autism

Autism is increasingly being recognized in young people with average and above intelligence. Because of the nature of autism, these young people have difficulty navigating the challenges of school and adolescence. Narrative therapy can help them with their current difficulties and also help them develop skills to address future challenges. Here, Browne et al aim to be the first step toward empirically determining whether narrative therapy is effective in helping young people with autism who present with emotional and behavioral problems. Narrative therapy has merit as an intervention with young people with autism, but, further research is indicated.
