> The other book that I've found really helpful is "Metaphor Therapy: Using Client-Generated Metaphors in Psychotherapy". This book talks about how metaphors (particularly those used spontaneously by the patient) can be used to promote change. I have found myself using this technique myself (to my therapist's chagrin...), and it has been very useful for me. So this might be an example of a book that can show a particular technique that we could learn to use ourselves. However, there are NO copies of this title in any library in my state (I found it at a used book store). So books like this could be harder to obtain.
Thanks so much for talking about this book falls. I've thought of getting it a few times, but was worried I'd be wasting my money on another wishy washy fad thingy. I'm gonna order it in for sure now :)
