Please sign in so that we can notify you about a reply
Metaphors occupy a central place in the treatment of acceptance and responsibility (TPO) and in dialectical behavioral therapy (DPT) They have a force in the hands of any practitioner therapist. Niclas Torneke is the author of the first application book in which the science of behavior and a linguistic analysis of metaphors is combined in order to clearly show how and when metaphors help achieve the best results of therapy.
Metaphors and practical exercises are necessary for the patient to better understand the roots of his problems. Metaphors help strengthen the connection with their own values, inspire hope and give motivation to change in the right direction. And although they occupy a central place in the theory of relational frames (TRFs), the treatment of acceptance and responsibility (TPO) and dialectical behavioral therapy (DPT), studies show that their effectiveness goes far beyond this framework.
In the book you will find a scientific analysis of metaphors based on data for more than a thirty -year research period, as well as the trends of the last decade. Here is a review of the TRF, the influence of metaphors on behavior analysis is described and the results of available clinical studies on the use of metaphors are presented. You will also learn how to create metaphors that will be filled with meaning for your patients.
And, most importantly, you will find examples of metaphors in practice and clinical exercises that can be used in therapy.
There are many books on psychotherapy and metaphors, but this is the first book that establishes a connection between a scientific approach to metaphors and a specific process of their use in the practice of a therapist. Everyone whose professional activity is associated with mental health and who is interested in the science of metaphors will find everything you need in this book to understand this approach and begin to use it
