- Short Description:
- This panel explores the art and function of anecdotes and metaphor in psychotherapy as pathways to indirect learning and non-volitional change. Through humor, storytelling, and clinical examples, speakers show how metaphors engage curiosity, bypass resistance, and evoke discovery rather than compliance. Participants gain practical insight into constructing effective therapeutic metaphors, balancing ambiguity with clarity, and using stories to foster flexibility, emotional insight, and self-directed growth.

- This session highlights strategic therapy rooted in Milton Erickson’s work, focusing on shifting relationship dynamics and social context. Madanes designs tailored interventions—direct, metaphorical, or paradoxical—to address specific family issues.

Case examples feature role-playing, pretend games, and paradoxical tasks to uncover fears, ease conflict, and restore balance.
