- Abstract
Introduction: Creative improvisation through literature is an original technique within the Unifying Experiential Psychotherapy, which aims to use spontaneously written stories, developed during personal development groups, as a provocative analysis support. The technique-based study aims to validate and capitalize on creative improvisation through literature, which serves as a model of Unifying Personal Development. Objectives: The aim of this study is to capitalize on the literary technique, as well as to highlight its implementation during an ongoing research program. Upon the completion of the program, both qualitative and quantitative results will be displayed. Methods: The technique used during the study is the literary improvisation. It was applied in an experiential manner and in accordance with the Unifying Experiential Psychotherapy method in a personal development group of 24 participants. Results: So far, we have noted that the technique's projection method and the aspect of becoming aware of some issues have proven to be effective, all the participants gaining access to previously unresolved emotions, experiences or blockages. Conclusions: After the first sessions of personal development through literary improvisation, we have observed its effectiveness, which drives us towards a more profound approach of the research program in the near future, in order to highlight even more qualitative and quantitative results.
