Synaesthesia and Psychotherapy
"We see therapy as a linguistic event that takes place in what we call a therapeutic conversation. The therapeutic conversation invltes a mutual search and exploration through dialogue (a tow-way exchange, a crisscrossing of ideas) in which new meanings are continually evolving toward the 'dis-solving' of the problems and, thus, the dissolving of the therapy system and what we have called the problem-organizing and problem-dis-solving system. Change is the evolution of new meaning through the narratives and stories created in the therapeutic conversation and dialogue (p161)." - (Anderson & Goolishian, Harry 1990)
"Problems are stories that people have agreed to tell themselves" - Harlene Anderson, PhD
