Abstract Five key therapeutic functions of metaphors are often discussed by psychotherapists. They (i) help clients express emotions and experiences, (ii) help therapists and clients explain difficult concepts, (iii) introduce new frames of reference, (iv) help work through client resistance, and (v) build a collaborative relationship between therapists and clients. Research on how these functions are enacted in psychotherapy talk tends to assume that they are indeed perceived as such by clients, and that metaphorical language is preferred to comparable literal language in performing them. This paper reports a survey study (N = 84) to critically interrogate these assumptions. Participants read two constructed therapy dialogues, controlled and counterbalanced for presentation sequence, where therapist and client discuss an issue using metaphorical and literal language respectively. Each dialogue is followed by a 15-item questionnaire to rate how well the presumed functions were performed (e.g. the therapist and client can work effectively together, the therapist is able to explain difficult concepts). A combined Confirmatory (CFA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) suggests that, instead of the five distinct functions proposed in the literature, participants discerned three functions which reflect a more holistic view of what metaphors can do. A second EFA conducted on literal responses yielded only two factors. This contrast in factor structure further suggests that (i) literal language is less functionally nuanced, and (ii) metaphors are not simply perceived as an ‘add-on’ to literal language, but are evaluated across an extended narrative in fundamentally different ways. Within-subjects metaphor vs. literal ratings of the items under the emergent three-factor structure were then compared. Metaphor ratings were significantly higher in all factors (p < 0.01), suggesting that metaphorical language is indeed perceived as more effective than literal language when discussing clients’ issues. Implications, limitations, and future directions are discussed.

Abstrak Prevalensi HIV AIDS di Pekanbaru meningkat dengan pesat di tahun belakangan ini, meskipun sudah dilakukan kampanye nasional mengenai pemanfaatan kondom pada kelompok risiko tinggi terutama pada pekerja seks wanita dan kliennya. Penelitian ini meneliti faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi perilaku dari perempuan pekerja seks dalam pemanfaatan kondom dengan menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif. Data dikumpulkan dengan wawancara mendalam dan diskusi kelompok terfokus kemudian dianalisis dengan menggunakan matriks konten. Penelitian ini dilakukan di Lokalisasi Prostitusi di Pekanbaru pada Maret 2010. Hanya 16,6% dari 30 responden menggunakan kondom secara konsisten, pada umumnya sering berubah pikiran ketika klien memberikan uang lebih banyak untuk tidak menggunakan kondom. 80% responden tidak memahami dengan baik tentang pencegahan HIV dan pentingnya menggunakan kondom secara konsisten selama aktivitas seksual. Menariknya, pasokan kondom secara teratur diberikan oleh bos mereka. Tingkat pemanfaatan kondom rendah karena adanya penolakan klien, ketidakseimbangan gender dan tawaran uang. Kemungkinan faktor dasar adalah rendahnya pengetahuan pekerja seks tentang HIV. Intervensi yang komprehensif sangat penting untuk mengatasi hambatan perilaku tersebut. Kata Kunci : Perilaku, Pekerja Seks, Pencegahan HIV/AIDS, PekanbaruAbstractThe Prevalence of HIV AIDS in Pekanbaru is growing rapidly in recent year, even though there are some national control actions by mass campaign of condom utilization among high risk group particularly in Female Sex workers and her clients. This study investigated the factors influencing of Female Sex workers behavior in the condom utilization by using qualitative approach. Data collected with in-depth interview and Focus group discussion then analyzed by content matrix. This study was held at Prostitute Localization in Pekanbaru on March 2010. Only 16.6% of 30 respondents used condom consistently, others commonly changed her mind when client gave more money for not using condom. 80% of respondent did not understand well about HIV prevention and importance of using condom consistently during sexual activity. Interestingly, condom supply regularly provided by their boss. the condom utilization rate were low due to client resistance, imbalance gender and financial bargaining as well. Poor sex worker's knowledge about HIV perhaps the basic factor. Comprehensive interventions are crucial for addressing these behavior barriers.
