POSSIBILITIES AND THREATS

If we think about mental health care or rehabilitation or every day life and the four-field window above, we can see few points.

In those cases were people are on the top left field we will have good results because people have good possibilities to manage in life and win their problems.

The opposite is on the bottom right where people have only minimum possibilities but maximum threats. With them we are not having good results, at least in short time and without a lot of work. But those people are not hopeless if they are willing to do go-operative work.
Many heroin etc. users are on this field.

On the bottom left people are quite satisfied in their living. It would take too much to have better life and there are not "enough" threats that they would have need to change their style of living.
Many long-term patients are on this field.

On top right there are people who will manage in their life and there are people who will fall down if they don't get help they need.

If we think about therapy and what we can do, the answer can be quite simple; there are four elements we should take care of:

  • Help people to find love, friends and empathy in their life

  • Help people to have something meaniningful to do

  • Help people to maximize their possibilities

  • Help people to minimize their threats

  • This is easy to say but often hard to do.
    We can use movie therapy to help people to do those things.
