Abstract

In this thesis, the process of psychotherapy with a university student who rejects school is reported. The appearance of the client expressed in the image of MSSM, the Landscape Montage Technique, etc. was initially expressed as “Artificial”. The perseverance of the therapist who reached within the client’s world rather than utilizing psychotherapy aimed at adapting the client to the real world resulted in a transformation of the internal self of the client. The transformation was represented in the Landscape Montage Technique in the second half of the psychotherapy treatment. It is suggested that the process of keeping pace with the client allowed him to address his own psychological behavior more receptively and with a greater probability of success.
