Editor : Richard House, Editor : Nick Totton

Reviews and Endorsements

The price of this book is worth it for the wisdom of the introduction let alone the other thoughtful pieces on where and how we — who seek to understand people — have moved forward.
Susie Orbach, author of Fat is a Feminist Issueand Bodies: Big Ideas

An excellent book that shows the astonishing diversity of therapeutic practice and makes clear why the field cannot be regulated by the state without losing its soul. An invaluable book in toady's climate of control.
Paul Gordon, Chair of the Philadelphia Association and author of The Hope of Therapy and An Uneasy Dwelling

Definitely a must for fresh and seasoned practitioners and anyone who cares about the future of this field and who needs a grounded and reflective counter-balance to the prevailing contemporary discourse.
Suzanne Keys, trainer, supervisor and counsellor and editor of Idiosyncratic Person-Centred Therapy

This was, when first published, an invaluable conceptual and practical resource for working against the grain of the 'professionalisation' of our care for each other, and now, in this second edition, doubly so!
Prof Ian Parker, Discourse Unit, Manchester Metropolitan University, author of Lacanian Psychoanalysis: Revolutions in Subjectivity
