Fish story

In the consulting room, the therapist is faced with a choice: imagine into the narrative the client relates or simply listen to the story as story. Therapy is collaborative healing. The client tells the story while the therapist becomes the catalyst to create the imaginal reality, to bring Psyche into the room. With Psyche present, both client and therapist can move to this perch of 50,000 feet to observe the warp and weave of the client’s narrative. Insight and healing can occur when both can sense the construction of the fabric, the story told.

Jung has said that,

“In general, it is the non-psychological novel that offers the richest opportunities for psychological elucidation. Here the author, having no intentions of this sort, does not show his characters in a psychological light and thus leaves room for analysis and interpretation, or even invites it by his unprejudiced mode of presentation.”

Moby-Dick is such.

2. fish tale:

The natural world is rife with humbug and fish tales, of things not being what they seem. Harmless viceroy butterflies mimic toxic monarch butterflies, parent birds draw predators away from the nest by feigning a broken wing, angler fish lure prey with appendages that wiggle like worms.

Biologists distinguish between such cases of innate or automatic deception, however, and so-called tactical deception, the use of a normal behavior in a novel situation, with the express purpose of misleading an observer. Tactical deception requires considerable behavioral suppleness, which is why it’s most often observed in the brainiest animals.
