101 Healing Stories Using Metaphors In Therapy

Psychology & Self-Help Health & Medicine

George W. Burns’ 101 Healing Stories Using Metaphors in Therapy gathers ready-to-tell tales that therapists, counselors and parents can slip into sessions to spark change without lecturing. Each short narrative is followed by quick guidance on tailoring the metaphor to issues from anxiety and trauma to family conflict, making the book a practical toolbox across modalities.

The 2001 trade paperback shows gentle shelf love: light curl to the covers, soft corner rubs and pale foxing on the outer page block. Inside, a previous owner’s penned inscription has been neatly marked through, and faint spotting touches the inside front cover and title page; the text itself remains crisp and fully readable.

Ideal for clinicians building a story library, students exploring narrative techniques, or helpers wanting fresh alternatives to direct advice, this accessible volume blends psychology, folklore and brief-therapy wisdom. Burns, an Australian psychologist renowned for therapeutic storytelling, packs decades of clinical experience into every page.

An inscribed copy adds a personal touch for collectors or gift-giving, while the minor cosmetic wear keeps the price friendly for a working copy you can annotate and carry to the office.
