"As a practicing clinician, I found this book to be interesting and
intellectually stimulating. The author's wide-ranging and
insightful examination of the uses of metaphor can help any
thoughtful practitioner. It deserves a spot on every
psychotherapist's bookshelf."
--Linda C. Saisselin, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, Private
Practice, New York City
"Martin Cohen gave a very thorough explanation of the value of
metaphors and why they are important in life and useful in therapy.
The metaphors he presents are very helpful, especially the two that
are annotated at the end of the book."
--Hope Lane, Therapist, Center for Family Development, Eugene,
Oregon
"I think this book is an important subject and will be very useful.
I found myself today using a metaphor with a private client and
revisited the book to make sure I was remembering my thoughts about
it."
--Zanne Miller, Licensed Professional Counselor, Private
Practice
"As a Licensed Marriage Family Therapist and Art Therapist, story
is very helpful for my clients. Martin Cohen breaks things down and
makes the concepts accessible for therapists. I especially
appreciate the powerful results of the tools that he astutely lays
out in this groundbreaking and accessible book."
--Judith Ana Castro, Therapist, Center for Family Development,
Eugene, Oregon
"The reading is thoroughly researched, and I enjoyed it. I can see
the applicability of the metaphor tool across all psychotherapeutic
approaches when direct speech doesn't quite reach the client. It's
a very practical book. I was able to immediately use an example
from it with a client of mine who had been suffering from
complicated grief for years."
--Tatiana Sporea, Integrated Behavioral Health Therapist, Eugene,
Oregon
