A Visit to Narnia: Stories for Social Work Education and Practice

摘要

The Chronicles of Narnia and, in particular, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, are amongst the most popular children's stories ever written. The stories have been enjoyed by many cultural groups accustomed to receiving “teachings” through folk-tales, metaphors, talking animals, and mythical creatures. They examine universal issues and feelings: grief and loss, social justice and service to humanity, abuse and healing, and greed and goodness. The Narnia stories offer social work educators and practitioners a rich source of material for self-reflection and self-other awareness.
