| dc.description.abstract | This qualitative study explored the experiences of clients using the Life Story Board during personal therapy. LSB is a visual interview tool that consists of a colourful board, and sets of cards. The data from clients (N=7) was collected through follow up interviews after the sessions with the LSB. Two resulting themes, Role Play and Speaking Inside Out, explored the impact of the visual structure as well as how communication patterns were differently valuable compared to traditional therapy. Data collected from therapists (N=6) through two focus groups generated themes related to the therapists' assumptions about disclosure during therapy sessions. The LSB used in therapy sessions became an integral part of the process with active participation of client and therapist. Participant clients created a visual representation of their difficult life events and experiences in an organized way in a process of co-construction with the therapists, to improve their understanding. | en_US |
