Abstract

The articles in this, the first volume, reflect something of the spirit of the development of psychotherapy in New Zealand, which has been somewhat singular in the world for its inclusive nature in a field of professional endavour more noted for its tendancy to fragment. So these articles cover a range of topics and interests. For an inaugural volume it may be said that there are some interesting absences. Not all our cultural strands are by any means represented here. Yet this is the first volume, and needs to be celebrated for its inception and the possibilities it thereby opens up for the future.
