The book describes a new therapeutic approach through spontaneously painted images by patients at various stages of their healing process. At the center is the question of how solutions arise in therapy and in life, and what stages patients go through to reach them. The therapist no longer asks - as is usual - who a patient is, but rather where they are in the universal story of solutions, from which they can infer what the patient needs at that moment. In the search for a general structure of solutions, the author discovered numerous analogies between patient stories and the construction of narratives (and solutions) in literature and film. The concept of a universal story of solutions is developed, with its individual stages vividly illustrated through the images created during the therapeutic process.
