Tiivistelmä
The use of digital storytelling as a tool for expressing emotions among adolescents under custody is a relatively new concept in the field of mental health care. Digital Storytelling uses media such as video, sound, and still images in order to tell a narrative. This mode can also be utilized within the field of mental health care as a vessel for mental health service users to express the illness experience in a more engaging manner. Additionally, it can help service providers to better understand the mental illness experience and their patients’ perspectives.
More frequently, communications in society is becoming digitized. Digital storytelling utilizes technology in an effort to foster better communications, especially among youth, who are some of the most prevalent users of technological communications. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, a psychotherapy based on talking and changing thought patterns, can be paired with the digital narrative in order to create a more comprehensive therapy regime.
The aim of this thesis is to determine the effectiveness of digital storytelling for expressing the emotions. The project done under this topic is a part of MIMO. The project was done using the guidelines of digital story telling.
The study author conducted a small field experiment using a group of teenagers living in a residential mental health treatment centre in south-western Finland. Each participant was given the tools to create his/her own story and content was analysed using an observational study approach.
