Metaphor Therapy introduces two important new methods for using metaphor as an intervention technique in psychotherapy - both involving client-generated metaphors, rather than the traditional metaphoric intervention suggested by the therapist. It will also enable the therapist to access and employ the client's own insight to stimulate positive growth and change. Written as a training manual for professionals, this book provides a step-by-step process for learning two specific approaches to client-generated metaphoric intervention. The first involves exploring and transforming the client's metaphoric language. The second focuses on exploring and transforming the client's early memory metaphors. In addition to outlining how a client-generated intervention is accomplished, the book examines specific skills that will help the therapist become more successful in these interventions. Practitioners will also find that the client-generated metaphor therapy described in the book is sensitive to culture, ethnicity, gender, and sexual orientation, making it ideally suited for working with diverse populations. In addition, both methods are compatible with a wide range of therapeutic modalities and orientations, including individual, couples, and family therapy; psychodynamic therapy; cognitive-behavioral therapy; humanist-existential therapy; and family systems therapy, in either brief or long-term approaches. Finally, the book explores the role of the linguistic, cognitive, sensory-affective, and neuropsychological processes that contribute to the therapeutic changes resulting from a client-generated metaphor.

Hardcover. Condition: As New. As New; Metaphor has been an unacknowledged tool in psychotherapy for many years. Fritz Perls used it in his dream interpretation; Erich Fromm developed his ideas on paradox through the use of metaphor. And now Kopp has shown the relationship of metaphor therapy to the whole gamut of psychoanalytically derived enterprises. Metaphor Therapy makes use of this unacknowledged tool explicit. The section on neuropsychology is most worthwhile. I am sure therapists will be interested to know that there is a biological substrate for metaphor and how this substrate can operate.
