Psychotherapy, ethics, and society: another kind of conversation

Psychotherapists endeavour to be non-judgemental, but ethical issues are the stuff of psychotherapy and practitioners are daily faced with patients who, for all their recrimination against others, are constantly reproaching themselves.

Psychotherapists are no more qualified to pass judgement on people than anyone else, but they have to respond to this as best they can.

Does the experience teach us anything about ethics? Drawing on psychoanalytic thinking, this book discusses the author's work with individuals over the past three decades.
