Juhani Ihanus is a Finnish pioneer of biblio/poetry therapy in Europe. His new insightful and broad-minded work Transformative words: Writing otherness and identities depicts literature, biblio/poetry therapy, and narratives in a wide cultural-historical context. The work, running 330 pages, is divided into three main sections: “Letters and Writing,” “Biblio/Poetry Therapy,” and “Narratives.” The main argument is that humans can recreate themselves through narratives time after time, because the coherent and stable ego is an illusion, “a psychological prejudice.” Although the past events of personal history remain unchangeable, new stories can enlighten them: the narrator can change and develop new perspectives on things.

变革性词：书写他者和身份

Juhani Ihanus 是芬兰书目/诗歌疗法在欧洲的先驱。他的新作品具有洞察力和宽广的视野，《变革性词汇：书写他者和身份》描绘了广泛的文化历史背景下的文学、书目/诗歌疗法和叙事。这部长达 330 页的作品分为三个主要部分：“信件和写作”、“书目/诗歌疗法”和“叙事”。主要论点是人类可以一次又一次地通过叙事重建自己，因为连贯而稳定的自我是一种幻觉，一种“心理偏见”。虽然个人历史的过去事件仍然不变，但新的故事可以启发他们：叙述者可以改变和发展对事物的新观点。
