Description
This work probes the language of family systems therapy, demonstrating how metaphors shape our understanding both of families themselves and of the goals and processes of therapy. The author shows how a deeper understanding of standard theoretical metaphors and the development of alternatives can help clinicians and students identify hidden assumptions, incorporate perspectives that may otherwise be overlooked, and forge creative meanings in clinical practice.
