Counseling Education Counseling Pictorial Narratives Narrative Experiential Reflexivity Hermeneutic Phenomenology Emotion Therapeutic Dialogue Counseling Techniques Therapeutic Relationship Postmodern Social Constructionism Constructivist Perceptions The primary purpose of this study was to explore counselors' perceptions of how Pictorial Narratives influenced their ability to more fully understand their clients. More specifically, the researcher sought to address how Pictorial Narratives influenced participants' ability to support and maintain a therapeutic relationship, to become more attuned to their clients' emotions, and to engage in a meaningful therapeutic dialogue. The researcher conducted semi-structured interviews with 10 participants, all of whom were licensed professional clinical counselors. The research design utilized an interpretive paradigm based on the work of Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology. It was further informed by Gadamer's extension of the hermeneutic method by emphasizing the importance of language and dialogue as sources from which knowledge emerge. The results suggested four major themes that emerged from the data. These themes suggested that Pictorial Narratives helped the participants to (a) support and maintain a strong therapeutic relationship; (b) access emotion; (c) enhance the quality of the therapeutic dialogue, and (d) employ a pragmatic versatility to the counseling process. A discussion of the results and implications for counselor education and supervision were included. Limitations and recommendations for future research on the clinical utility of Pictorial Narratives were described. 2020-05-15 English text Kent State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1586875445042165 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=kent1586875445042165 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
