Psychology and the Poetics of Growth: Figurative Language in Psychology, Psychotherapy, and Education

1977, hardcover edition, Lawrence Erlbaum / John Wiley, NY. 260 pages. Very technical work, with figures / tables / illustrations throughout. "The plan of this book is a simple one ... the idea of figurative language is presented in terms of its linguistic, aesthetic, and philosophical backgrounds ... Another section of the book deals with the occurrence and significance of figurative language within the context of psychotherapy." Well written, scholarly, insightful.
