  9. Expression and context Expression within a context of sharing stories helps victims and offenders to imbue their personal story with greater significance and meaning

  10. We aim at a positive adaptation of clients, namely • by reducing a sense of shame • by building a strong sense of connection and fellowship • by making transparent what is valuable in life (focusing on strengths and values) • by finding goals and find new meanings

  11. Photos prompt participants to talk about delicate subjects

  12. The intervention stimulates active participation With their ‘photo-essays’ clients make a representation of what they think is important in their lives

  13. GOALFINDINGThe assignment is to make photographs of: • A wish or goal to go for • What is needed to realize your wish

  14. WILLIAM “My goal is to abstain from alcohol.”

  15. Photograph 1: motivation “ I am motivated to abstain from alcohol. My son means everything to me. I want to be a good father to him without using alcohol.”

  16. “Iam motivated to take my medicine against alcohol. I have to do it myself. I am very precise at it, because alcohol and medication are a dangerous combination.”

  17. RESULTS • 46 % of all participants explores in depth emotions and meanings • 65 % of all participants mentioned illness experiences explicitly and reflected on them. • 55 % of all participants tended to evaluate their lives as told in their stories.
