What can a therapist do when faced with the all-too-familiar client who seems "stuck" or "resistant"? With this volume, veteran therapists Carol and Steve Lankton offer clinicians an effective tool with which they can expand their ability to be successful in therapy through integrating the use of indirection into the more commonly used rational and direct approach. This is a book of predesigned stories that the Lanktons and their trainees have told in successful therapy in order to assist clients in their movement toward specific, preplanned goals. The stories are categorized according to the way they are structured to reach particular types of goals, such as changes in affect, attitudinal restructuring, changes in behavior, changes in family structure, changes in self-image, and many others.

A positive resource for profesionals and non-profesionals,
By A Customer
This review is from: Tales Of Enchantment: Goal-Oriented Metaphors For Adults And Children In Therapy (Hardcover)
This book is oriented principally to people thet work in the mental health area, giving very valuable resources for cariing out therapeutic conversations, and reading it adds a great deal to creativity. But on the other hand, it doesn't have a good review of how to construct metaphors, it presents many ready-made metaphors.Also it's a good book for anybody that's seeking a positive view in life or in a specific problematic stage of life. It gives a chance to change the glasses you are using to look at the world for a pair that might make you feel better.

Fantastic collection of therapeutic metaphors,
By MCSD for Microsoft .Net (Atlanta) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales Of Enchantment: Goal-Oriented Metaphors For Adults And Children In Therapy (Hardcover)
Metaphors are powerful vehicles for change; the unconscious mind must associate with elements of the story to understand it. Milton H. Erickson, M.D., arguably the greatest hypnotherapist ever, often utilized metaphors to achieve breakthroughs with his patients. Now 100 Ericksonian metaphors are available for you to use with patients thanks to the Lanktons' Tales of Enchantment. Each metaphorical story in this treasure trove is preceded with information regarding what the story teaches, problems addressed, and the target audience. I highly recommend this collection of therapeutic metaphors for any Ericksonian hypnotherapist or individual who wishes to read stories that will effectuate positive changes in his or her life.

Poor and boring stories,
By Louis Gray (Paris, France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Tales Of Enchantment: Goal-Oriented Metaphors For Adults And Children In Therapy (Hardcover)
I'm really wondering what kind of person could be enchanted by these tales as these are sooooo long and boring ; seems like an outdated book to me. Also I've noticed way better results in therapy with stories from Nick Owen which is a passionate story tellers.So if you want you to bore your clients, go for the tales of enchantement ; if you want passionate and effective stories go for Nick Owen.
