Pictorial Narratives represent an innovative, optimistic and versatile intervention that facilitates movement out of stuckness in both supervisory and therapeutic settings. As a constructivist experiential technique, it involves combining drawings with dialogue that can be used in supervision and later transferred to the counseling room. Preliminary results of its effectiveness suggest that the intervention helps trainees gain access into their clients' inner subjective experience, promotes a fuller understanding of the problem, and clarifies how the client wishes to be different. Counselor trainees have found that the intervention enhances their sense of professional competence, and promotes positive therapeutic experiences for supervisors, trainees and clients.
