This paper addresses how the conversation between the therapists and the family, and between the therapists themselves, supports and selects the new ideas that develop in the session which become the seeds of a new story for the family. This co-construction relies on four ideas: positive descriptions, conjectures, hypothetical questions and the use of gender.
