Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The use of metaphor as a conceptual and clinical tool in the treatment situation can enhance the therapeutic alliance and strengthen the effectiveness of therapeutic communication. The evolution of a special metaphoric system of communication in the course of the treatment situation enhances the positive alliance between patient and therapist. In a way analogous to the poetic use of metaphor, the therapeutic use of appropriate metaphors can be a powerful tool because a metaphor is a symbol that represents a condensation of multiple impulses, conflicts, fantasies, and affects. Case material will be presented to illustrate the use of metaphoric communication in the clinical situation. |
