Abstract

In the work with the images produced by children and adolescents under analysis, an approach based on storytelling and image overlapping was conceived, in order to allow listening to the image. This path sought to elaborate on the central jeopardy linked to the interpretation of drawings: the loss of the particular meaning of an image from the perspective of the person who produced it. Adoption of storytelling would establish the same resonance with the initial imaginative activity, facilitating the continuation of this movement by generating other outcomes from the narrative. Understanding the nature of this process, given by its relation to archetypal patterns, might be possible from the observation of its similarities, visible throughout its unfolding, exemplified through the presentation of a clinical case. This experience would become accessible to the analyst employing the image overlapping method.
