- Abstract
- The project 'Myth, metaphor, and meaning in pastoral psychotherapy' attempts to combine object relations theory and psychodynamic technique with family systems techniques and the techniques of neuro-linguistic programming. After covering the foundations of the development and organization of cognitive, emotional and linguistic meaning systems for the individual, the author reinterprets psychodynamic concepts as metaphors which can be used in therapy to help the client describe his or her internal mechanisms and process. The use of metaphors to elicit change in meaning systems is portrayed, particularly in terms of developing a sense of self-love in the client. The final two chapters portray ways in which myths as process metaphors can be used to bring about therapeutic change, and then a framework in which Christian pastoral psychotherapists might be able to embrace what is vital about Christianity without sacrificing what is vital about being alive.
