Index
This book speaks of a fresh approach to knowing and teaching. The editors have succeeded in combining a philosophical framework for the centrality of narrative and dialogue in education and human services with lively accounts from practitioners working in a variety of disciplines and levels.
Rich with life histories and stories, this book is organized around three themes: that story and narrative are primary tools in teaching and the helping professions; that education means taking seriously both the quest for life's meaning and the call to care for persons; and that the use of narrative and dialogue can serve as a model for teaching and learning across boundaries of disciplines, professions, and cultures.
