Within the Group's View

Abstract

This article explores the use of metaphoric and symbolic imagery to clarify and work through group dynamics. With an eye toward tying imagery interventions to a therapeutic rationale, various levels of group intervention (individual, interpersonal, and group-as-a-whole) are discussed and therapeutic goals at each level specified. Clinical vignettes serve to explicate how imagery work might enhance these therapeutic goals, while being naturally worked into the ongoing flow of the group's process.
