Being and Relating in Psychotherapy Ontology and Therapeutic Practice

"This is a profound book- thoughtful, humane and at times passionate about what it means to be human and how psychotherapists explore the experience and pain of humanity with our patients. It offers a refreshingly non-partisan approach with the best kind of clinical writing and should be on all our reading lists." - Dr. Jean Knox, training Analyst at the Society of Analytical Psychology and Associate Professor at the University of Exeter, UK "This is a serious book which has amassed the creative thought of a number of impressive writers on what the contemporary twenty-first century approach to psychotherapy should look like. It should be required reading for anyone interested in therapy as a genuinely humanitarian process, including the next generation of trainees, and of course clients who want to know what they are in for." - Bob Hinshelwood, Professor, Centre for Psychoanalysitc Studies, University of Essex, UK
