Produktbeschreibung

The potential for healing available in well-known myths and stories is increasingly recognized, but many practitioners are unsure how to tap into this rich and often culturally-specific source of insight. "The Therapeutic Use of Stories" explores the historical and cultural context of story-telling and provide examples of specific stories for specific situations. Covering emotional themes such as anger, anxiety, fear, shame, guilt, separation and bereavement, the authors show how to work through stories with many different kinds of client groups and individuals in educational, health and social science settings.
