Metaphoric Associative Cards – OH Cards Institute – Share Resources (original) (raw)
Welcome to the OH Cards Institute
Our mission is to make the growing resources about Metaphoric Associative Cards, specifically the OH Cards Genre, available to more people. The content of this site is being generated and shared by users worldwide.
We would like to thank all the contributors – educators, therapists, coaches, social workers, doctors, nurses, trainers and many other professionals. Since they have benefitted from using these tools they are willing to go to some effort to pass on information about how they like to use the cards. And we would like to encourage everyone who feels they have something to share to do so. We appreciate it!
The contributions have been cross-referenced in three ways: by methods, studies, and context. Methods shows ways OH is used in various areas, from counseling to creativity. Studies include scholarly and professional articles, popular magazine articles, videos, and more.

This article describes a modified form of the IPPI interview for children based on the use of pictorial representations, i.e., the Metaphoric and Associative Cards, “OH-Cards”. A clinical vignette illustrates the different steps of this intervention such as those provided to sibling 6-year-old twins in the context of a post-immediate CUMP intervention after a drowning.
Results. – Adding the pictorial cards to IPPI interview techniques facilitated the children’s verbaliza- tion, the narrative reports of the traumatic experience with the professional, and globally enhanced the symbolization process.
Discussion. – This developmental-sensitive adaptation of the commonly used debriefing approach illus- trates the positive synergy between the professional cultures of the clinicians from the CUMP and the child psychiatrists.
Conclusion. – Children-specific adaptations of the IPPI based on symbolic mediators, such as pictorial cards, should be considered as a reference tool at this age in the training of CUMP professionals.
