Summary:
"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 to 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."--BOOK JACKET.
