Metaphorical cards “Portraits and Faces” are suitable for working with a wide range of requests. This set will also be effective in working with family systems and generic scenarios. Thanks to bright and colorful images, any client request can be processed. The paintings depict portraits of men and women of all ages: from babies to the elderly; different nationalities and ethnic groups – this property makes the MAK set universal, because everyone can find familiar, related people there.
You can work with the deck both in individual and group counseling. It can also be used in systemic constellations and as a deck for self-discovery. MAC “Portraits and Faces” can be used both separately and in combination with other decks.
For whom? For psychologists, psychotherapists of various directions, coaches, teachers, specialists in helping professions, for people who want to engage in self-knowledge.
MAK “Portraits and Faces” can be used in:

• Research feelings and current states
• Working through relationships of any kind (with family, partner, colleagues, yourself, with the world, finances)
• System constellations, research of generic scenarios
• Study and correction of the “I-concept”
• Psychotherapy of identity crises, conflicts, both internal and external
• Self-knowledge and self-therapy
• And others

Working with family systems and generic scenarios through the analysis of faces allows you to better understand and realize certain patterns of behavior characteristic of certain family members. It also allows you to explore the psychological causes of family conflicts, repeating stereotypical patterns of behavior among different members of the family and clan system.
The following strategies for working with metaphorical associative cards can be distinguished:

• Open selection of cards ( VO) – the client chooses the image himself. This option is considered safer and less disturbing in comparison with the second option.
• Closed card selection(VZ) – the client chooses a card at random, without seeing the image, face down. This option can trigger deeper work, and it also introduces an element of play into the consultation process.
