From the Words of my Mouth (Psychology Revivals): Tradition in Psychotherapy - Paperback

by Laurence Spurling (Editor)

As a psychotherapist, in whose name do I speak? How can I come to speak in my own name? What does 'tradition' mean in psychotherapy? Originally published in 1993, the contributors to this book - all practising psychotherapists and teachers - explore these questions and investigate how theories and practices are passed on from one generation to the next. Their responses range over questions of training and indoctrination, the idea of tradition in the thought of Freud, Jung and Winnicott, and the implications of these questions for the practice of psychotherapy.
