Rezensionen

"Healing Stories is a rare text: at once delightful to read,lively, informative, practical and reassuring. Burns'confidence in the curative power of metaphor bursts forth from thepages, demystifying the art of telling a good story in theprocess. Here are wonderful tales we can tell kids, they cantell us, and we can coauthor with them.
Burns takes us through all the steps involved in building a goodtherapeutic narrative so even the most tongue-tied clinician canspin a useful tale."
