Description

Description:

Metaphors activate processes in the limbic system. Since patients tell therapist stories, therapists can use anecdotes to promote clinical goals.

Educational Objectives:

  1. Describe verbal and conceptual metaphors that can be used therapeutically.
  2. Given a patient and a therapeutic goal, construct an anecdote that advances adaptive processes within the patient.
