Hi.
I am searching for research and experiences in using of metaphors in therapy or/and caring in general. What kind of metaphors do you have an experience of and use? Visual (picture, text), auditive (story telling, proverbs etc...). Do you make a distinction between which metaphor you use and the diagnose?
I guess you mean care-giving not carrying as you mention it with treatment?
Use these for starters (and look at their lit list!)

Dear Michael and Peter.
Thank you kindly for help and links!
(I was confused - for a while - after reading Michaels answer :-D )
Sending best regards, Sabina Dalsborn
Hi ,
I recommend you to refer to a research paper by Dr, Dennis Tay from Hong Kong. Just google his name and you will get it. I think his paper is published in Metaphor &Symbol journal.
