THE HEALING POWER OF SELF NARRATIVES: THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL AND DEXTER

ANLATILARIN İYİLEŞTİRİCİ GÜCÜ: THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL AND DEXTER Özet Bu çalışma, öz anlatı ve onun özelliklerinin psikoterapide nasıl uygulanabilir bir araç olarak kullanıldığını inceler. Carl Jung'un "Psikoterapinin Dört Evresi" (Jung, 1966) kuramsal çerçevesinde, The Diary of a Young Girl (Frank, 1947) ve Dexter'ın nasıl bu dört evreye uygun olduğu ortaya konulmuştur. Bu çalışmada, adı geçen öz anlatılarla Jung'ın psikanalizde anlattığı dört evreyi eşleştirerek, öz anlatılardaki kişisel farkındalık arayışının etkili bir terapi yöntemi olarak kullanıldığı sonucuna varılmıştır.

ÖZ ANLATILARIN İYİLEŞTİRİCİ GÜCÜ: THE DIARY OF A YOUNG GIRL AND DEXTER

This paper investigates self-narratives and their characteristics by demonstrating how they are a viable tool for engaging in psychotherapy. This is achieved by examining the narratives of The Diary of a Young Girl (Frank, 1947) and Dexter in light of Carl Jung's Four Stages of Psychotherapy (Jung, 1966) to show that the aforementioned narratives generally conform to these four stages. By aligning Jung's four stages of psychotherapy with the respective self-narratives, and discussing other therapeutic characteristics of self-narratives, it can be concluded that the exploration of self-awareness within self-narratives results in this narrative form being an effective means of therapy.
