Метафоричний Розум - Джеймс Лаулі, Пенні Томпкінс

Метафори — лише художні вислови або ж інструмент вирішення психологічних проблем? Джеймс Лаулі та Пенні Томпкінс (2000) є співрозробниками Символічного. Як інструмент у своїй роботі вони використовують запитання «Чистої мови». Aвтори використовують стенограми власних сесій, зокрема з клієнтами, які зазнали травматичного воєнного досвіду за період повномасштабної війни в Україні, що лише підвищує актуальність описаної теми для сучасних психотерапевтів.
Переклад Ганни Стативки (2023)
