[Fantasies and parables as media in psychotherapy].
Over the last twenty-two years I have developed a new concept of psychotherapy and self-help (Positive Psychotherapy), which has been worked out from a transcultural point of view. I am interested in this transcultural aspect as a result of my own transcultural situation (Germany and Iran). Equally important is my interest in oriental stories as resources and communication aids, as instruments in my field of specialization, psychotherapy. An additional factor has been the connection between the wisdom and intuitive thoughts of the Orient and the new psychotherapeutic methods of the West. In my work I have tried to explain the universal significance of the transcultural aspect, to systematize the contents of the transcultural problems, and to show its significance for the development of conflicts. With this aspect in mind, I also had another aim, namely to develop a concept for conflict-centered therapy. Different psychotherapeutic methods can be integrated into this short-term therapy according to the indications.
