Abstract

As I approach writing my last editorial for the NZAP journal I reflect on my role as editor. I have learnt a great deal about the process and hope to pass my learning on to the new team. The 2008 journal has been slow to come to print. This is due to the editor's struggle with ill health and workload. I apologise to those who have been waiting. The journal is packed full of tasty morsels, and each paper brings a perspective from the experience of the psychotherapist-writer that enriches the reader's reflection on their own practice. The subjectivity of the psychotherapist and the intersubjective process are central to the papers.

Four of the papers in the journal were presented at the conference in Waitangi, which had the theme "Imagining the other: initial contact in the psychotherapy relationship".
