Edith Mark PhD, Aalborg Hospital, Aarhus University, Denmark
Some years ago I became interested in the use of narrative to help encourage children to communicate in situations where we were discussing sensitive issues. Shortly afterwards I read about the Storyline approach to education. I noticed that an American workshop course was being run by Storyline Design in Portland, Oregon and applied. I welcomed the experience and this convinced me of the efficacy of creating a context which supports the learner and provides a structure for discussion. The outcome is in the form of a publication explaining my PhD studies. It describes my attempt to use Storyline in my research of children’s experiences with restrictive eating (the children were overweight or suffered from type 1 diabetes). The book in Danish is called “Restriktiv spisning i narrativ belysning” 2009, published by Aalborg Sygehus, ISBN 978-87-90880-21-7
