Abstract
The case of an enuretic child illustrates the power that suggestion in the form of an animal story can exercise both on conscious and subconscious levels and in terms of its ameliorative effect on Parent, Adult, and Child patterns and script development. The therapeutic interventions in the form of the therapist's conversations with Brown Bear are described. A discussion of the theory, choice of treatment method, and explanation of the outcome follows. A brief review of the use of stories as understood by Berne and Karpman is included.
