Psychology of Metaphor Course syllabus

Hey folks,

So many of you have been interested in my research work on the psychology of metaphor, and so I’ve included the rough syllabus for my Psychology of Metaphor course below.

I’ve taught versions of this course at both Pacifica Graduate Institute and Meridian University.  To get more details, it’s on my Books and Courses page: Psychology of Metaphor Course.

Unit 1: METAPHOR IN EVERYDAY LIFE

Unit 2: METAPHOR AS AN AESTHETIC WORLD

Unit 3: METAPHOR AS CREATIVE PROCESS

Unit 4: METAPHOR AND THE NATURAL WORLD

Unit 5: THE METAPHORIC MIND

Unit 6: METAPHOR IN TEACHING, RESEARCH AND COUNSELING

 

You can purchase the license to teach this course to your own adult students, clients, or community. It includes handouts, class activities, references, and supplemental resources.

By the way, if you’re interested in incorporating metaphor into your current practice or helping others do that, you will not find this material anywhere else. Much of it is based on writings that are out-of-print and inaccessible to the general public.
