The use of metaphor is central to the implementation of acceptance
and commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavior therapy
(DBT), and is a powerful tool for all practicing psychotherapists.
In Metaphor in Practice, psychotherapist Niklas Toerneke presents
the first practical book to combine the behavioral and linguistic
sciences of metaphor, and illustrates how and when to apply
metaphors in practice for better treatment outcomes. The use of
metaphors and experiential exercises can help clients gain a deeper
understanding of the problems that cause their disorders. Metaphors
help clients connect with their values, and often spark the
inspiration and motivation needed to make a commitment to change.
And while metaphor is central to relational frame theory (RFT),
acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and dialectical behavior
therapy (DBT), research now shows its usefulness has an even
broader reach. In this book, you'll find a scientific analysis of
metaphor based on over thirty years of research, as well as trends
in research over the last ten years. The book includes an overview
of RFT, how metaphor has influenced the community of behavior
analysis, as well as available clinical research on metaphor use.
You'll also discover how to create metaphors for functional
analysis, distance of observation, and things that matter to your
client. Most importantly, you'll find practical examples of
metaphors and clinical exercises you can use in-session.
