The use of analogy in individual psychotherapy with young and pre-adolescents: "Superman, Bimbo and the big, grey wolf".

For various reasons, youngsters often have difficulty in discussing important issues in individual psychotherapy. Therapists, also, may find it hard to uncover underlying issues and dynamics. This paper describes three separate techniques for using analogy in individual therapy with the 10 to 15-year-old age group. These techniques were developed while the author was a member of a multi-disciplinary team operating within an out-patient, adolescent psychiatric clinic.
