The Enchantment of the Reindeer

The author is a physician trained in modern medicine and their academic background is entirely related to this grand paradigm. However, through different experiences, they realized that metaphor can play an important role in healing. This vague feeling led to the question of why metaphor has been so absent from treatment and why everything has become lost in elaborate cerebral reasoning. This small book aims to address these questions. In fact, it seeks to explore the role of metaphor in healing and, through it, to better understand the relationship between body and brain than before.
