Abstract:
I entered the field of psychotherapy through the gate marked ‘humanistic’; but Wilhelm Reich, who developed the style of therapy that I was taught, worked within the psychoanalytic tradition. Although he is often claimed as one of the founding parents of humanistic therapy, Reich himself—unlike Perls and Berne, for example, who also started as psychoanalysts—never announced himself as ‘humanistic’; his break with the analysts was primarily about the use of bodywork and about his left wing politics, and in many ways Reich's technique remained firmly psychodynamic.

Abstract:
Human beings have developed an impressive capacity to discriminate: to arrange their perception of the world into precise entities to which they then give names so that they can communicate about them. In achieving this feat they have, however, become very dependent on this ability. Indeed, we may wonder whether it has become counterproductive. In contemporary society everything that is studied, and the methods by which it is studied, are divided into categories. It has now come to a point where, to be considered a person of worth, one must be a specialist.

The healthy suggestions in the articles by Nick Totton and John Sivyer were in stark contrast to the muddle and insensitivity I came up against when my therapy went badly wrong.

Abstract:
Over the years Self and Society has been kind enough to publish pieces about our work with the psychological effects of boarding school and about our work with couples and gender. In this essay, which is adapted from my recent book on the psychology of boarding education, The Making of Them, I want to share some of our thinking on gender difference which partly arose from running workshops for Boarding School Survivors. We started putting on these workshops only for men, as an offshoot of the fledgling Men's Movement in the late eighties. However, we had so many letters from women telling us that they had felt damaged by boarding that we felt the need to offer groups for women, with very little idea of what we would find.

Abstract:
Therapy that prioritises feelings focuses on the development and maintenance of emotional relationships. I want to reflect on how the therapist's emotional Involvement is developed and maintained in therapy that focuses on feelings.
