Substage
Read full descriptionHide full description
SubStage is a tool designed to provide an expressive space for the inner worlds of children, adolescents, and adults through the construction of scenes. Inspired by the “Scenotest” projective test—originally developed by Gerhild von Staabs—this digital format enables the playful representation and processing of unconscious conflicts, emotions, and relationship patterns under professional therapeutic guidance. The subject (child, adolescent, or adult) is prompted by a practitioner to intuitively construct a scene using three-dimensional figures, much like on a stage. There is no right or wrong; every individual is free to develop their own unique scene. The practitioner facilitates the process based on their specific professional and therapeutic expertise. SubStage facilitates interpersonal contact and supports both verbal and, in particular, non-verbal communication for children, adolescents, and adults alike. SubStage was conceptualized and developed by child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. med. Kerstin De Nicolò, this app is already being successfully utilized in her practice with young patients.
