| dc.description.abstract | This thesis posits unconscious patterns as the source of feelings of unhappiness and then presents a process for disrupting those patterns. However, neither the propositions about the unconscious nor about the process of disruption are presented explicitly except briefly in an appendix. Instead, the thesis is a narrative unraveling of a fictionalized psychotherapeutic intervention, where the interaction between unconscious elements and consciousness is explicated and disrupted resulting in a shift in the conscious experience of the participants. The process presented goes beyond accounts of consciousness change found in the annals of therapeutic practice. The aim in employing narrative form was to be able to portray subtleties and nuances of this elusive process as it is experienced. | |
