Metaphor in Practice: A Professional's Guide to Using the Science of Language in Psychotherapy (16pt Large Print Edition)

In Metaphor in Practice, psychotherapist and international ACT trainer Niklas Törneke presents the first practical book to combine the most recent behavioral and linguistic sciences of metaphor, and illustrates how and when to apply metaphors in practice for better treatment outcomes.
