Abstract
QUINONES VARELA, Irene Sofía and MAPOLON ARCENDOR, Yolanda. A new Psychotherapeutic technique device for children. Rev Hum Med [online]. 2004, vol.4, n.2. ISSN 1727-8120.
An experimental study in which it was introduced a psychotherapeutic technique devised for a Cuban child was applied. The studied sample was formed by 25 children that receive treatment in the Night Blindness Provincial Center in the city of Camagüey. The technique consists of a story about a trip with representations of marine and terrestrial landscapes, reinforcing this imagery with breathing resources and chromotherapy, to achieve pleasant affective states in children. When concluding the session the patients drew the visualizations. The results reflected that all children accepted the technique and their pictorial representations and that they adjusted to the topic. The topics the students represented the most were trees and palms, sky and clouds, airports, airplanes and mountains
