ABSTRACT
Learning how to generate therapeutic metaphors involves a multifaceted process for the therapist that can be learned one step at a time. In Part II we will provide a framework of the basic ingredients we have found helpful in creating metaphors that foster change and growth. First, ways of perceiving, evoking, and generating the different kinds of information that will be needed for creating the metaphor will be examined. This information includes both specific and nonspecific aspects of sensory and linguistic systems. We then will demonstrate how to utilize the information by weaving it into a story that contains a plot, characters, and action that match the child's presenting problem, inner resources, and desired solutions.
