Abstract

Therapists' use of metaphor in psychotherapy is ubiquitous. However, compared to theoretical and clinical claims about the potential effectiveness of using metaphor, research investigations pose challenges and remain relatively sparse. We provide examples of metaphors in sessions and then systematically review the empirical literature. This research suggests that collaborative coelaboration of metaphors with clients is related to positive in-session client outcomes, particularly cognitive engagement. Future research might benefit from a more in-depth focus on the process and impacts of using metaphors. We draw out implications from the research for clinical training and psychotherapy practice.

心理治疗师隐喻使用研究综述。
治疗师在心理治疗中对隐喻的使用是普遍存在的。然而,与关于使用隐喻的潜在有效性的理论和临床主张相比,研究调查带来了挑战,而且相对较少。我们在会话中提供隐喻的例子,然后系统地回顾经验文献。这项研究表明,隐喻与客户的合作与会话中的积极客户结果有关,尤其是认知参与。未来的研究可能会受益于对隐喻使用过程和影响的更深入关注。我们从研究中得出对临床训练和心理治疗实践的启示。(PsycInfo数据库记录(c)2023 APA,保留所有权利)。
