| Abstract: | Abstract This theoretical study is based on the premise that the dynamics of metaphor, the joining of two disparate entities in a single relational field to produce a new concept, represent a prototype of change. Literature is reviewed as it applies to certain relationships between metaphor and psychotherapy. As both metaphor and psychotherapy are rooted in language, language is viewed both as it informs the self and as it is used as a tool of psychotherapy. Psychoanalytic theory of language development is presented as are theories of how language, specifically metaphor, might be integrated and influence the change process. |
