[Intuitive dialogue--a way out of emotional blockages with defocusing imagination]

Intuitive dialogues allows to loose trauma-, conflict-, and subject-fixations. The defocusing imagery plays an important part role in this method. The metaphorical method is oriented on Winnicott, M. Balint, and on Ernesto Grassi and on the theory and praxis of modern art-therapy. A specific Balint group in the dying scene is described, in which role- and relationship conflicts are defocused in form of a mood oriented sensory-metaphorical process. Finally the theory and method of the intuitive dialogue is discussed, especially in the therapy with tortured patients.
