Translator disclaimer

This article describes short-term psychotherapy with a young girl. The development of the therapy—supported by a strong therapeutic alliance—is shown through the evolution of a gentle ghost story, created and illustrated by the young patient herself. As the story progresses, the patient's self-confidence is strengthened and the development of new vital permissions is fostered.
