Description | What do you do as a therapist, teacher, doctor or manager when your client, student, patient or colleague says "It's like I'm hitting my head against a brick wall," "I've got a knot in my stomach" or "I'm looking for the right path to take"?
Metaphors In Mind describes how to give individuals the opportunity to discover how their symbolic perceptions are organised, what needs to happen for these to change, and how they can transform as a result. Based on David Grove's pioneering therapeutic approach and use of Clean Language, Symbolic Modelling is an emergent, systemic, and iterative way of facillitating the psychotherapeutic process.
This comprehensive book covers the theory of metaphor, self-organising systems and symbolic modelling, the practice of Clean Language; the five-stage therapeutic process; and includes three client transcripts.
Ernest Rossi, Ph.D. author of The Psychobiology of Mind-Body Healing, comments:
"Metaphors In Mind presents a broad integration of deep perspectives about helping people learn how to facillitate their own creativity in solving their own problems in their own way. Well done!" |
