Multimedia psychotherapy is a new form of psychotherapy created by psychoanalyst Domenico A. Nesci (member of the International Psychoanalytic Association) and his son, producer artist Filippo A. Nesci, in Rome, Italy, in 2007.
[1] The method was originally conceived as a technique to help mourning patients suffering from grief and bereavement.
Nesci developed this form of psychotherapy working with a patient who suffered from complicated grief after the death of her father from lung cancer.
The psychotherapy was first created after Nesci's own mourning when his parents died.
[2] Multimedia psychotherapy involves the use of various multimedia objects of the dead relative like pictures, drawings, writings, video or audio recordings.
