“…I share with McMullen the desire to see metaphors more fruitfully used in counseling, but I have suggested that another route to this outcome lies in a keener appreciation, on counselors’ part, of parallel developments in different aspects of metaphor theory. These other aspects include, but are not limited to, the nature of conceptual materials that constitute metaphoric sources (Kövecses, 2010), the variation of conceptual metaphors across different speakers (Kövecses, 2005; Tay, 2011), and nonlinguistic modalities of metaphor (e.g., audio, visuals; Forceville, 2006), all of which have implications for the applied field of counseling waiting to be uncovered.…”

This article introduces the notion of metaphor types to show how the more nuanced aspects of metaphor theory can be applied to counseling practice. The author suggests that metaphor types can enhance existing interview protocols designed to help clients expand the source domain imagery of their metaphors and “bridge back” the expanded imagery to identified target issues. A sample analysis of a counseling transcript is provided to illustrate the recommended steps in applying metaphor types.

“…This analysis suggests that there are few conventionally available linguistic resources available to carers to supply non-medical accounts of recovery (Tay, 2011), and such accounts are hedged with uncertainty. This reflects a wider concern arising from recovery movement, that recovery is so deeply personal that it defies definition (Barker & Buchanan-Barker, 2010).…”

Background: The recovery movement has become highly influential in research and services for people who experience psychosis. However the precise meaning of recovery from psychosis is contested, and there are concerns that the language of the recovery movement may be co-opted to serve other priorities. Aims: To investigate carers' constructions of the meaning of recovery from psychosis. Method: A qualitative study, using synthetic discursive psychology to analyse transcripts of semi-structured interviews with seven carers recruited from an Early Intervention in Psychosis service, where recovery approaches were practised. Results: We found medical accounts of recovery to be highly influential used both frequently and as a key reference point, even when describing alternative, non-medical accounts of recovery. Such alternative accounts of recovery in the data were fragementary and participants tended to use such accounts to signal some kind of trouble or disruption. Conclusions: Explanations of the objectives of recovery approaches cannot escape comparison with a medical repertoire of recovery. Such explanations may benefit from illustration using personal accounts of recovery that contain concrete detail. Creating conditions of safe uncertainty around the meaning of recovery may be an important aim for clinicians and services.

“…El intercambio conversacional se basó en la introducción de la metáfora del tratamiento como viaje, a través de preguntas acerca del inicio como partida, el proceso como trayecto y la reinserción al medio de procedencia como próximo arribo. La metáfora del viaje tiene un arraigado sustrato cultural (Lakoff & Johnson, 1995;Mikkonen, 2007;Smelser, 2009) y ha sido aplicada al proceso de tratamiento en general y en el abordaje del consumo de drogas en particular (Epston & White, 1992;Hegarty, Smith, & Hammersley, 2010;Shinebourne & Smith, 2010;Tay, 2011). Al término de las sesiones se elaboró una carta que reconstruía aspectos significativos del proceso recuperando la voz de los consultantes (White, 2002(White, , 2007White & Epston, 1993), la cual les fue entregada como elemento de cierre.…”

Resumen: En el presente trabajo se describe el proceso elaborativo suscitado a partir de una intervención narrativo-conversacional breve, dirigida a reforzar el tratamiento y la reintegración social de personas con uso problemático de drogas. La intervención comprendió tres sesiones centradas en la reconstrucción de la experiencia en tratamiento y de las expectativas respecto de la próxima reintegración social, a partir de un ejercicio narrativo basado en una metáfora del tratamiento como viaje. Participaron 10 personas captadas en dos unidades de tratamiento en Ciudad de México. El ejercicio de una escucha activa propició la integración cognitivo-afectiva de la experiencia en el tratamiento, así como el esclarecimiento de expectativas, temores o deseos suscitados por el próximo término del mismo. Se observó una abundante producción metafórica, vinculada con nuevas formas de significar la experiencia, una amplia expresión de afectos y una mayor claridad ante el futuro.Abstract: This paper describes the elaborative process drawn from the implementation of a brief narrative-conversational intervention, aimed at reinforcing treatment and social reintegration of people with drug abuse problems. The intervention comprised three sessions focused on a dialogical reconstruction of the experience in treatment and expectations about social reintegration, by means of a narrative exercise based on the metaphor of treatment as a journey. A sample of 10 participants was recruited from two treatment units in Mexico City. Active listening led to a greater cognitive-affective integration of treatment experience, as well as to clearing up expectations, fears and desires caused by the upcoming end of treatment. An ample metaphorical production was observed, which was linked to new ways of signifying experience, a wide expression of affections, and a clearer picture of the future.Palabras clave: terapia narrativa, terapia conversacional, abuso de drogas, metáfora, proceso elaborativo.
