This book is full of ways to use metaphor in story telling with children.
It is full of useful ideas, how to create a story to incorporate metaphors
relevant to the child's problems.Lots of ways for professionals who work with children to generate a suitable story which can help children to identify with characters and scenarios, and ultimately help them to heal emotionally.
I have used some of the stories with suitable clients, and found that, so far it seems to work well.

This book gives a invaluable understanding as to how to help children through storytelling with their feelings and issues. It provides an understanding as to how a child's imagery and thinking may differ to an adult's. It is broken down into three chapters. 1.Why Storytelling is a good therapeutic tool for children, 2. How to use storytelling..., 3. How to effectively respond to a child's story.
I believe this is the book to start with. This book is under 100 pages of information that has had a profound impact on me. I recommend it as part the tool kit for any one who works with children, up to about age 14.

The use of story telling in a therapeutic manner with young people
26 Feb 2006
Format:Paperback
Clear, accessible and without jargon... this book will be a valuable tool for therapists, teachers, parents and others looking to develop alternative ways of communicating with children and young people.
It makes so much sense, I wondered why I hadn't thought of it all myself !
I also liked the print and the layout of the book.
