Metaphor as an Instrument for Orchestrating Change in Counselor Training and the Counseling Process

Abstract: The authors explore the use of metaphors as a training tool for beginning counselors for enhancing client case conceptualization, counselor‐client relationships, and intervention strategies. The history of the use of metaphors in counseling, several definitions, and a case study are presented. The authors discuss intentional use of metaphors with students in training and with clients. How to introduce the use of metaphors into counselor training and practice is also included.

“…Constructivist supervisors and educators value narratives, stories, and metaphor in knowledge construction. The verbal and visual metaphors developed for these case conceptualization techniques have the potential to bridge feeling and insight, influencing behavior and action (Robert & Kelly, 2010). In addition, with the intentional use of metaphors, supervisors and students become more aware of client-generated metaphorical narratives, facilitating client case conceptualization, therapeutic relationship, and intervention strategies (Robert & Kelly, 2010).…”

Similar to the literature findings (McMullen,1996;Robert & Kelly, 2010;Lyddon, Clay, & Sparks, 2001), the feeling of worthlessness and inadequacy, which were not mentioned easily, were examined with the help of metaphoric expressions. Using metaphoric expression in these situations provided an alternative and easy way for communication, instead of making the patient feel under attack.…”

Technology can also be an ALS and its use has been increasing (Hayes, 2008), with a growing number of counseling programs continuously updating their technology to enhance student learning (McKee, Smith, Hayes, Stewart, & Echterling, 1999).…”
