Review
"The reader will find a wealth of sundry stories in this book, some woven by the therapist, some by the client, and others in collaboration. The boundless urge to tell our stories and those of our clients will, with the help of this book, sooner or later prevail." (PsycCRITIQUES, 7/2/08)
Review
—Jon Carlson, PsyD, EdD, ABPP, Distinguished Professor, Governors State University
"George Burns has done an expert job of compiling a definitive work that demystifies the ever-versatile metaphor. Whether you are a novice or an expert clinician, you will find a treasury of story interventions along with the "inside scoop" on how each was created and applied to bring success in nineteen unforgettable case chapters. Better yet, you'll be able to create your own healing metaphors thanks to the expert guidance of a wide range of talented storytellers. Don't miss out on this one!"
—Maggie Phillips, Ph.D., Author, Finding the Energy to Heal; co-author Healing the Divided Self
"I am an admirer of Burns’ writing. His books are always well-written and useful. When he tackles a topic, as in this extremely practical casebook, no other book needs to be written about it. He covers the whole waterfront."
—Bill O'Hanlon, M.Sc., Author of 27 books, including Do One Thing Different
"Healing with Stories surveys the approaches of many leaders in field of therapeutic metaphors and gets into their heads to give readers a unique behind-the-scene understanding of how experts formulate metaphoric interventions."
—Stephen Lankton, MSW, DAHB, Editor, American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis, Author of Assembling Ericksonian Therapy & The Answer Within
"If you want to be inspired, entertained, and enlightened, Healing with Stories is the book to read. George Burns, a master storyteller, has assembled a creative, diverse group of clinicians to share their ideas about how metaphor can be used with a variety of problems and clients. The result is a fascinating array of insights into metaphor's role in the healing process."
—Richard G. Whiteside, MSW, Author, Becoming Dragon
"Aristotle said, "The thing most important by far is the command of metaphor." In Healing with Stories, George Burns has assembled a pantheon of "old pros" whose classic methods add innovative scope and depth to the practice of contemporary psychotherapy."
—Jeffrey K. Zeig, Ph.D., Director, The Milton Erickson Foundation
