The Handbook of Therapeutic Storytelling enables people in the
healing professions to utilise storytelling, pictures and metaphors
as interventions to help their patients. Communicating in parallel
worlds and using simple images and solutions can help to generate
positive attitudes, which can then be nurtured and enhanced to
great effect. Following an "Introduction" to the therapeutic use of
stories, which closes with helpful "Instructions for use", the book
is divided into two parts, both of which contain a series of easily
accessible chapters. Part One includes stories with specific
therapeutic applications linked to symptoms and situations. Part
Two explains and investigates methods and offers a wide range of
tools; these include trance inductions, adaptation hints,
reframing, the use of metaphor and intervention techniques, how
stories can be structured, and how to invent your own. The book
also contains a detailed reference section with cross-referenced
key words to help you find the story or tool that you need. With
clear guidance on how stories can be applied to encourage positive
change in people, groups and organisations, the Handbook of
Therapeutic Storytelling is an essential resource for
psychotherapists and other professions of health and social care in
a range of different settings, as well as coaches, supervisors and
management professionals.

Following tenets set out by Milton Erickson, Therapeutic
Interventions in Three Sentences: Reshaping Ericksonian
Hypnotherapy by Talking to the Brain and Body presents an array of
short, effective commands which have been developed for use in
connection with a wide range of mental and psychosomatic disorders.
Examining in detail the basic building blocks which must be in
place in order for someone to send an effective command to his or
her sub-conscious mind, the book presents an elegant way of using
informal variations of Ericksonian hypnotherapy in awake states and
transferring these principles to a variety of therapeutic settings.
The methods described follow specific rules derived from
hypnotherapy but can be integrated into any other form of
counselling or therapy and can be used in short sessions, in
telephone consultations and with patients in critical states, as
well as conversations of a therapeutic nature by non-therapeutic
professionals. The book explains why and how these interventions
work, their general structure, and how they can be used to tackle
specific needs such as trauma, depression, and anxiety disorders.
The book will be of great interest to counsellors, doctors and
therapists of different orientations who are looking for
therapeutic methods that can be used in short sessions or with
patients in critical states, as well as non-therapeutic
professionals who engage in conversations of a therapeutic nature,
such as social workers, pastors, nurses, carers and teachers
(including SEN teachers).
