Abstract

This chapter discusses the use of stories, anecdotes, and humor in positive psychotherapy (PPT, after Peseschkian). Stories are designated as traditional phenomena of human culture, and have a variety of forms and genres of folklore and copyright texts. There are heroic epics, magic legends and myths, fairy tales of various kinds, but also everyday fables, tales, parables, and anecdotes. At present, films and TV series are important ways of processing meaning. All these phenomena belong to the metaphorical understanding of the world and can be used in psychotherapeutic practice.
