He suggests that the implicit model of therapy as a parentchild endeavor can be usefully revised by taking marriage as the metaphor. From another perspective, he suggests that the contemporary interest in narratives makes more sense when the storytelling is conceptualized as a twoperson endeavor. Freud's account of his treatment of the Wolf Man is offered as a cautionary tale to illustr
