The author endeavors to reassess how metaphor functions psychoanalytically by distinguishing it from more inclusive conceptualizations of symbolism and metaphor, and from the idea of metaphor as a primary cognitive structure. The author adapts aspects of Ricoeur's metaphor theory, and explores metaphor as organized around tensions of similarity and difference, and of something "being and not-being" simultaneously. Such a model anchors metaphoric meaning in the subject's capacity for metaphoric experience and its relation to unrealized unconscious meaning. The author suggests that this perspective on metaphor-which connects it experientially to mature transitional experience, sublimation, play, and mourning-helps us understand how metaphoric experience functions as our most potent agent of intrapsychic change.
作者努力通过将隐喻与更广泛的象征意义和隐喻概念区分开来，以及将隐喻视为主要认知结构的观点，重新评估隐喻的心理分析功能。作者采用了里科（Ricoeur）隐喻理论的某些方面，探讨了隐喻是如何围绕相似性和差异性、以及“既是又不是”的张力组织起来的。这样的模式将隐喻意义锚定在主体进行隐喻体验的能力及其与未实现的无意识意义的关系中。作者认为，这种隐喻观点——将其从经验上与成熟的过渡体验、升华、游戏和哀悼联系起来——有助于我们理解隐喻体验如何作为我们内心变化的最有力的因素。
