Metaphor and meaning in psychotherapy

Abstract: The author "presents metaphor as a form of symbolization uniquely suited to bridging the known and unknown, the conscious and the unconscious, the personal and the universal. She demonstrates how metaphor, while drawing upon one's most concrete bodily expereince, points to an immensely rich area of imaginative life. The work offers an abundance of clinical data to illustrate how metaphors is a principle medium for creating the unconscious interpersonal resonances that lie at the heart of the psychotherapeutic process, including the metaphors inherent in transference and countertransference:" (flap)

Note: Denne bog er yderst velegnet til en diskussion af musikterapiens - især GIMs potentialer.
