Description:
Using folktales and other metaphoric stories can aid the healing
process
Just as stories have the power to enrich our lives, shape the way
we perceive and interact with the world, and reveal the wonders of
the human spirit, so too can they play an important and potent role
in therapy-helping people develop the skills to cope with and
survive a myriad of life situations. 101 Healing Stories celebrates
the rewards of using parables, fables, and metaphors in therapy as
a nonthreatening means to help clients discuss problems and
consider possible solutions.
George W. Burns examines the healing value of using metaphors in
therapy and provides 101 inspirational story ideas that therapists
can adapt to share with clients for effecting change. He explains
how to tell stories that engage the client, how to make them
metaphoric, and where to find sources for such tales. Burns also
shows readers how to build stories from personal experiences or
their own imagination to use in session, making this thoughtful
book an especially creative therapeutic tool.
Contains 101 stories grouped by desired therapeutic outcome,
highlighting each story's applicability to a variety of presenting
problems
Offers talking points for therapists such as speci?c insights,
outcomes, or skills that are illustrated by the stories
Features shaded tabs that index stories by therapeutic outcome for
easy reference and selection
