Summary |
Using stories by children and by other authors, the author examines their purpose, the common themes and metaphors that emerge and the communication that they can engender between the therapist and the child. Case studies and specific examples are used to show the reader how the child creates the stories, and how the therapist can gain the child's trust before attempting therapy |
