Reviews

this book ... gets one to think about similiarity and difference of models: between theory and what actually happens in the consulting room; between models in which one has a deep personal investment; and others which one may have consciously or unconsciously denigrated. In relatively few pages, the book conveys the essence of a number of different therapies, and focuses our minds on practical and conceptual similiarities and differences between paradigms. Like other books which are worth reading, it provides new insights, raises (sometimes uncomfortable) questions, and stimulates further reading. Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy, Volume 17, No 2 This short book is edited by two of the currently best-known UK psychotherapists, who have a deserved reputation for writing clearly and persuasively about psychotherapy.
