This new short-form book published by the Cambridge University Press, written by our Prof. Dennis Tay, discusses how to navigate the practical realities of applied metaphor research, using psychotherapy as an example.
The three foundational components of psychotherapy - the therapist, the client, and the interactional setting - are discussed in turn, covering issues like ethically engaging therapists in research design and data analysis, dealing with underexplored variabilities in client responses, and managing the inherent tension between spontaneity and control in an interactional setting like psychotherapy. This book also offers some thoughts on how the lessons are transferable to other research contexts.
