Opis

Therapy's relational turn is something to celebrate. It is a major world-wide trend taking place in all the therapy traditions. But up to now appreciation of these developments has not been twinned with well-informed and constructive critique. Hence practitioners and students have not been able to engage as fully as they might with the complex questions and issues that relational working presents. This book seeks to redress this balance. Here, Del Loewenthal and Andrew Samuels bring together the contributions of writers from several countries and many therapy modalities, all of whom have engaged with what 'relational' means: whether to espouse the idea, to respectfully to urge caution - or to engage in sceptical reflection.
