Healing with Stories

George W. Burns, the master of therapeutic storytelling, has brought together a group of international therapists to describe why and how they use storytelling in their clinical practice and share specific examples of what metaphors they have successfully used with their clients.

Description

An invitation to observe and learn the therapeutic art of storytelling.

Healing with Stories brings together a stellar collection of some of the world's most prominent practitioners, taking you inside their thinking and processes for working with metaphors. They represent the panorama of metaphor practice in psychotherapy today with considered, humorous, and compassionate case examples that step you through the intricacies of replicating their work in your own.

This is a book for family therapists who work with children, adults, and families, as well as for hypnotherapists, cognitive behavioural therapists, narrative therapists, dynamic therapists, solution-focused therapists, and child therapists. In fact, all therapists who wish to communicate their therapeutic messages with the greatest effectiveness will find this book to be an essential and useful clinical tool.
