Περιγραφή
Σύνοψη:Through observations and research, related to treatment and (re)habilitation, transformational turning points, entailing radical rather than an incremental change, have been shown to stand out as significant experiences in the process of liberation. Such turning points may be described as spontaneous insights, "golden moments", when the past, the present and the future are reorganised into new mental structures so that the past may be integrated with the present and give new perspectives to the future. A turning point may often be elicited in relation to a mental reframing of the existential situation. This novel insight does not primarily emerge from belabouring the past, but by transcending an actual problematic and destructive situation in combination with creative activities. Therefore, new insight and new existential perspectives may open up. The article concludes with an appeal to therapists to be aware of this possibility and facilitate the opportunities.
