Abstract

The 2003 edition of Forum celebrates diversity. The papers within cover a wide sweep: across countries, across cultures and languages, across disciplines, from different corners of our psychotherapy discipline. We are delighted to include keynote papers and other presentations from the conference in Christchurch. These papers give us rich reading and thinking from many perspectives - psychiatry, individual and group psychotherapy, history and culture, art, ethics and neuroscience. We have as well papers that pick up the conference theme, the ebb and flow of relationship. We include a formal tribute to Roy Muir and a paper dedicated to him. Its author, Angela Stupples, trained in child psychotherapy with Roy and Liz Muir and her paper opened the day seminar held at The Ashburn Clinic in Dunedin earlier this year to honour Roy's life and work.
