The burdens of giving care to a chronically ill or dependent family member can be overwhelming. The therapeutic utilization of narrative can assist elderly female caregivers to transform their feelings of depression and burden into a healthy acceptance of the required care and disabilities of the elder for whom they care. This technique, which assists clients to restory negative aspects of their perceived reality, has emerged from the theoretical framework of postmodernism. Using the narrative approach to a family case study involving a daughter and dependent mother, this article examines interventions that can facilitate the positive development of a client's caregiving story.
照顾患有慢性病或需要照料的家庭成员的负担可能会让人难以承受。叙事的治疗性运用可以帮助老年女性照顾者将她们的抑郁情绪和负担转化为对所需照顾以及她们所照顾老人残疾状况的健康接受。这种帮助来访者重新讲述其感知到的现实中的负面方面的技巧，源自后现代主义的理论框架。本文通过对一个涉及女儿和需要照料的母亲的家庭案例研究采用叙事方法，探讨了有助于促进来访者照顾故事积极发展的干预措施。
