title: Psychotherapeutic change and the experience of dwelling.
abstract: The theme of dwelling is a rich metaphor for issues of containment, safety, entrapment, building, and hiding. Over the course of four years of individual psychotherapy, a young woman described the changes in her experience of dwelling in the family home where she grew up. These changes mirrored the transformation of her sense of identity to provide a record of psychological growth.
