Storytelling in the doctor’s office

I came across these quotes from Jung while paging through a notebook of mine and offer them as a P.S. to my How To Be A Partner With Your Doctor post:

Every personality has a story. Derangement happens when the story was denied. To heal, the patient had to rediscover his story.

And:

The crucial thing is the story. For it alone shows the human background and the human suffering. Only at that point can the doctor’s therapy begin to operate.
