Abstract

This case study illustrates the use of therapeutic storytelling as an effective intervention for helping children and youth to deal with various types of trauma, and, in this case, trauma resulting from a phobic reaction. The article includes a brief introduction, a perusal of the literature and outlines some implications of therapeutic storytelling for the field of child and youth care. The therapeutic storytelling treatment process is presented here session by session to give the child and youth worker an appreciation of how each session is planned built on and interrelated with other sessions, and how to integrate the techniques employed for maximum effect.
