Kevin William Grant examines the cognitive processes that produce
metaphors in psychotherapy. The "I-Ching Task" is the measure of
metaphor production applied in this research inquiry. Two cognitive
processes are hypothesized to be necessary for the production of a
metaphor. The first hypothesized cognitive process is
sensory-imaginal processing, where attention is concentrated into
one's internal experiencing and sensory awareness to form sensory
impressions or sensory images. The second type of processing is
called integration-synthesis processing, and this is hypothesized
to work in parallel with sensory-imaginal processing.
Integration-synthesis processing functions to combine conflicting
or contradictory elements into an integrated whole. Metaphor is the
meeting point of these processes, and all of them are important in
the production of metaphor in psychotherapy. Revised and updated
from the first edition published in 1991.
