Starting from the difficulty of listening and supporting migrants and, in particular, their stories and their pain, the Institute of family therapy of Bologna has created and tested a technique of storytelling that departs from what images suggest to migrants. In doing this, the institute has integrated two techniques of training and family therapy: the systemic-relational thinking and the use of images by Rodoldo de Bernart. We have created an ad-hoc narrative-tool, making use of Shuan Tan’s graphic novel ‘The Arrival’. The highly suggestive images are viewed, chose and narrated in groups, by migrants who have known each other for a period of time. We tested ‘Arrivals’ in five classes of migrants studying Italian, for a total of 100 migrants. This paper will explore some of the results of our experimentation and provide some preliminary conclusions, which seem to tell us that images facilitate the recall, recount, acceptance and understanding of complex migrant stories, including those rich and painful.
