Miran Možina, MD, MSc: Stories about and in Psychotherapy

Psychotherapeutic stories, which show how people can resolve challenging life situations and grow in personality as we experience severe crises, are becoming more popular. They even raise the hope that it is possible to find a way out of the existential crises that have become a growing problem in this time of Heuschreckenkapitalismus (locust capitalism). Stories in psychotherapy have a wide range of uses – from ice-breakers that help establish contact and develop therapeutic relationships, stories that assist in making a diagnosis, stories that provide information, to stories that trigger the process of finding solutions, focus on the future and viable goals, promote new ideas and mitigate a sense of helplessness and resistance to therapeutic change.
