New to This Edition Incorporates 20 years of clinical experience and the ongoing development of Gil’s influential integrative approach. All-new case material. Discusses how current brain research can inform creative interventions. Heightened focus on personal metaphors, complete with detailed suggestions for exploring and processing them.
