Abstract

In this 1998 edition of the NZAP Forum, the fourth now to be published, the articles come largely from papers that were presented at the Auckland Conference held in February. The conference organisers chose as the theme Boundaries and Space, Structure and Creativity. The papers collected in this volume attest to this wide-ranging yet contained abstraction. They also mirror in their own way the Association's nature as an umbrella organisation which holds space for different creative expressions of psychotherapy, while holding firm to common core competencies of practice, and increasingly clear professional definition in the community it serves.
