Concious Use of
Metaphor in Outward Bound
by Stephen Bacon
The author asserts
that we learn by relating previous experiences with present ones,
seeking to confirm or reorder our sense of reality. This is essentially
a metaphoric function, in that we let experience stand for something in
our lives, such as our ability to communicate with others, to be
trusted, or to follow through in the face of adversity. The book is
written in the context of Outward Bound processes and experiences. An
appendix helps readers unfamiliar with Outward Bound with definitions
and descriptions.
