Bringing together a fusion of psychology, storytelling, and feminism, Storytelling from a Psychotherapy Perspective presents a humorous yet highly practical anthology of traditional stories with psychological truths hidden within their fabric for mental health practitioners to draw upon in their work with clients. Readers are encouraged to draw from the well of soulful wisdom and keen insight enshrined in traditional tales and will gain a stronger understanding of the unique power of stories to create safe spaces to explore difficult personal experiences.
Written by an author with the unique dual experience of psychotherapy practice and professional storytelling, this book presents a collection of 50 traditional tales. Drawing from the metaphor of paintings in an exhibition, stories are grouped into Rooms and accompanied by psychological reflections, functioning similarly to a published catalogue. The tales are categorised into the following sections:
• Bawdy Tales
• Beastly Tales
• Transpersonal Tales
• Tales of Soul
• Original Stories
• Stories with Children
A unique contribution to therapeutic storytelling literature, this will be an essential read for both trainee and more seasoned practitioners alike working within the fields of psychotherapy, counselling, psychology and mental health coaching, and therapeutic storytelling.
