Therapeutic Metaphors: Helping Others Through the Looking Glass - David Gordon

David Gordon explores how metaphor and storytelling can be used as practical tools in psychotherapy and personal change. Drawing on the work of Milton H. Erickson and the traditions of Ericksonian therapy, the book examines how stories, symbolic situations and indirect communication can help people approach problems from new perspectives. Gordon presents methods for developing and using therapeutic metaphors in ways that connect with a person’s own experiences, associations and ways of understanding the world. Published by Meta Publications, this is a specialist title for readers interested in hypnosis, neurolinguistic programming and creative approaches to therapy.
