101 Healing Stories for Children and Teens is a must read for everyone working with this age group.
George Burns takes the reader on a wonderful journey, balancing metaphor, good therapeutic
technique, and empirical foundations during the trip. Given that Burns utilizes all three aspects of
the Confucian story referred to in the book—teaching, showing, and involving—any reader using
this resource should increase their understanding of how stories can be used therapeutically.

Burns has done it again, even more thoroughly and usefully than last time! I loved the structure, the
content, and the stories— particularly the child-generated metaphors and collaborative tales. This
book is going to be invaluable to all clinicians who work with children of all ages, and shines with
the clear and genuine love that allowed its writing. Thanks, George.

101 Healing Stories for Kids and Teens is a fantastic idea, well executed, by a master! Burns
systematically leads readers through every step of constructing and delivering therapeutic stories in
general, and then outlines and provides examples of stories for achieving a wide variety of specific
goals. This book is a wonderful gift for psychotherapists but it should also be in the hands of every
parent who spends loving time with their children.

Information helps youngsters DO different things but stories create experiences that help them to
BE different. George Burns is an international expert, and a voluble and vulpine raconteur. 101
Healing Stories for Kids and Teens is a masterwork— easy to follow, easy to effect. A treasure-trove for
parents and professionals in the child-development fields.

professional therapist experience to help individuals uncover

101 Healing Stories: Using Metaphors in Therapy
celebrates the rewards of using parables, fables, and
metaphors in therapy as a non-threatening means to help
clients discuss problems and consider possible solutions.
Just as stories have the power to enrich our lives, shape
the way we perceive and interact with the world, and
reveal the wonders of the human spirit, so too can they
play an important and potent role in therapy. They
can help people develop the skills to cope with and
survive a myriad of life situations.
In this enriching guide, George W. Burns, examines
the healing value of using metaphors in therapy and
provides motivating story ideas that you can adapt
immediately and share with your clients.
This inspirational, yet practical, book explains
how to tell stories that engage your client, make
your stories more metaphoric, and where to find
sources for inspirational tales. You learn that
using metaphoric stories and folktales in
therapy can facilitate treatment, especially for
clients unresponsive to other approaches.
