Further study: working with stories involving pictures

Pictures animate individuals to describe personal conflicting events. Situations are interpreted and potential forms of action formulated here in relation. Stories involving pictures serve to confront problematic and conflicting situations and allow various points of view, situative interpretations and alternatives for action to be clarified.
