"Storytelling Therapy Association of India" ( STAI ) The form of Storytelling Therapy that we are
especially developing has eight
steps. This approach elaborates
upon and extends the three-step
therapeutic process developed by Dr Carl Jung. Mission Statement: * To develop ways that methods of
Storytelling Therapy could be used in a wide range of formal and informal
wellness-inducing processes such as Life Coaching, Facilitating Personality
Development, Therapeutic Storytelling work, Healing, Psychological Counselling,
and Therapy. (The STAI accepts the
premise that one needs to have earned a Masters degree in a
Psychology-related discipine to possibly conduct Counselling or
Therapy.) * To help further establish the field of
Storytelling Therapy, so that it could take its place in general global
culture beside the more-established and known fields such as Drama Therapy,
Dance-movement Therapy, Biblio Therapy, and Poetry Therapy. * To further esatblish Storytelling Therapy
as one of the Expressive Therapies, and Creative Arts Therapies. * To further esatblish Storytelling Therapy
as a component of Expressive Arts Therapy (which perceives artistic
expression to be a holistic process, across the senses). * To help research, develop, and apply
"in the modern world" traditional ways of using stories and
storytelling to heal, comfort, and guide -- especially in relation to the
cultures of India. * To help research, develop, and apply ways
the processes of story analysis and
composition can be therapeutic and/or stimulating of personal
social-emotional growth, awareness, and maturity. * To help research, develop, and apply ways
the process of story writing
can be therapeutic and/or stimulating of personal social-emotional growth,
