REFERENCES AND PROFESSIONAL LITERATURE ON METAPHORS
In the professional literature there are many books and journal articles about metaphors that provide
research into metaphor processing, offer case histories, and give examples and sources of metaphors.
Throughout the text of this book, I have minimized the amount of referencing and reiteration of
other people’s research so as to give maximum space to the stories and the techniques for using them.
To help you further explore the science, theory, styles, and applications of healing stories, I have
sought to provide a comprehensive bibliography, which includes a broad cross-section of the litera-
ture (some of which takes a different orientation than does my own). In this section are all the arti-
cles and books I have cited in the text. Some of them are repeated in following sections so as to make
them readily accessible both alphabetically and thematically.
