I use story in working with grief and bereavement. There are similarities I think (when we are ill, we are grieving our health and our ability to depend= on our bodies) and so I would add another therapeutic use to your list Andre= . That would be helping the patient to integrate this experience into her/his life story, in other words, to make or find meaning in this part of his/her story.
