ABSTRACT
Two patients were treated with solution-focused symbolic therapy. Through hypnosis, a 15-year-old boy's interpersonal fear and his concern about his hair were displaced to a weak part of his mind and located symbolically in his body in a form of imagery. His confident part was induced, and it was suggested that he integrate both parts. He spontaneously generated a new symbol that made him active. Another patient was treated without hypnosis. A teased 10-year-old girl's anxiety of being isolated in her class was solved through a symbol-making activity. Both therapeutic processes can be seen as the transformation ones of the clients' stories. It is suggested that the clients' positive coping sets as the agents of the solution were a necessary part of the therapy.
