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 bytranscendingan 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. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
