The experience gained through therapeutic practice constitutes a rich knowledge base that can potentially demystify the psychotherapeutic aspects sometimes perceived as “magical” or simply compassionate, when in fact psychotherapy is a process built on multiple small strokes, akin to an impressionist painting. The challenge is to elicit an awareness of this experiential knowledge and how it is built. Jacques Beaujean and his colleagues at CFTF (Liège, Belgium) propose a reflective tool that aims to respond to this difficulty: an experiential knowledge schema.
