The Imagogenogram and the Fractals. Interflows in the U.T. Paradigme
Journal Title: Journal of Experiential Psychotherapy - Year 2015, Vol 18, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: The Imagogenogram and the fractals. Apparently distinct working techniques in Unifying Therapy (U.T.). However... Objectives: In this paper, I set myself to carry out a presentation of the two techniques, a description of my findings during the individual and group psychotherapy practice. The findings emphasize interflows within the framework of the U.T paradigme. Methods: During the personal development and analysis workshops I often used the Imagogenogram or the fractals boards as a projective-provocative pretext, aiming to trigger and then facilitate the progress of the psychotherapeutic démarche (work). Results: The Imagogenogram and the fractals have always proved to be “powerful” psychotherapeutic instruments, being extremely helpful in decrypting personal and transgenerational scenarios as well as for re-signification and integration of the findings. Conclusions: Given a deeper analysis of the above mentioned techniques, they have numerous elements in common and emphasizing them implicitly underlines the elements that grant them the “strength” mentioned earlier – which is very useful in choosing the methods, the psychotherapeutic techniques and exercises and especially in understanding the interior-exterior dynamics, the way we can access and re-establish in an easier and a more “complete” way what we contain and the way this content is expressed outwardly.
