This method consists of putting together appropriately chosen pictures and words (or phrases) and pasting them, without any logic on the same sheet of paper. The purpose is to achieve synoptic stimulation (see the chapter Psychotherapy).
The elements to be pasted should be chosen by selecting them according to their stimulating power of our thoughts and emotions
The collage does not need to make logical or rational sense, the important thing is that it is “suggestive.”
Once completed, it should be affixed to a wall like a painting or placed in a scrapbook to browse through whenever you want.
The configurator can have a beneficial synoptic effect in that it contains text and images capable of stimulating our affectivity, emotionality and imagination in various ways, while at the same time helping to connect, reconcile or integrate otherwise isolated or incompatible entities in the subject’s mind.
