It is not used to treat specific orders, per se, but it appears to be more of a psychological tool of examination by which the way a person tells the story of their life can give insights to the therapist/analyst as to how they are 'organizing' the events of their life into a mental construct.

Like dreams, the stories we tell reflect the person we are. sometimes, by changing the way we tell a story of ourselves and/or to ourselves can help us get past a problem we are experiencing. The entry at wikipedia is more detailed about the processes and aspects that can go into such a method.

Problems with self-esteem is a good starting point. The way one relates how one developed such self-esteem, and the words one uses to explain it to others, can have the effect of actually recreating and maintaining the low self-esteem in the individual, especially if the person uses words or phrases like "when I failed this..." or "there was nothing I could do..." or "it was a hopeless situation..." Although seemingly innocent statements of fact, such 'examples' can work to prove to the individual that one is indeed a failure (look at the facts) and therefore that one's accomplishments are also doomed from the beginning. A narrative therapist can bring this to a patient's attention, and by changing the way one uses the words, they change the way one experiences the event, making it seem like a 'momentary setback' rather than a blueprint of life.
