Description
Marie Stadel, Janneke van Houts, Shanice Wortel, Barbara Montagne, and Laura Bringmann test a new way to map the social world of therapy patients. The method pairs phone prompts that sample daily life with a map of each patient's personal network. A feedback report then sums up what was gathered. Nine young adults in therapy at a Dutch center took part in four case studies.
The method worked best in one-to-one therapy, where patient and therapist used it side by side. Patients who avoid contact found it harder, and some found it too confronting at first. The reports did sharpen therapists' grasp of patients' social lives. The paper sets out what must improve before wider use.
