Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com from the premise that the real expert of a situation is the person himself. Use narrative pediatric practice is taken into account that the child’s identity is made of multiple stories, influencing his life: he tells those and those others tell or told about him. It is based on the ability of each to make from his early childhood and permanently stories to make sense of everything that happens to him. The bricks of these stories are his family culture, social, education, experiences, beliefs, everything that was said about him. They can help prevent or achieve what is important to him. Some stories take up so much space that they become “absolute truths” that enclose life its owner. Still other stories are always possible [5]. Make a detour by Australia of 80 years; the original population, known for its artistic tradition, suffered for decades of a double genocide: nearly all of Aborigines was eliminated physically, and what remained of the communities, children were taken from their families and placed among the settlers to be “assimilated”. Since then, these communities have declined (alcohol and drugs, violence, schooling, etc.). Psychologists and therapists whites were asked to come to their aid. Among them, Michael White [3], formed in Brief Therapy Center in Palo Alto, has an original approach, reported by Dina Scherrer [6] explaining the Aborigines: “We were asked to help solve the problems we have created. Anything we can do to help you is to ask you to explain how you think the world and look into your culture and your traditions that 50,000 years ago the solutions that have been developed to solve your problems. This humble posture Mickael White face of Aborigines is the foundation of Narratives practices developed in the AngloSaxon countries for over 30 years. They were introduced in France since 2004 when they begin to be taught at the University. How is this idea that the other has in him the resources to develop “stories” that will make it harder is it relevant in pediatrics?
