Nick Totton and the UK Independent Practitioners' Network

Abstract

Nick Totton's involvement in, and contribution to, the UK Independent Practitioners Network (IPN) are outlined in this appreciative, impressionistic article. Nick Totton, along with others, took a pivotal leadership role in the founding and development of this radical counter‐cultural approach to “psy” accountability in Britain in the mid 1990s, and his major contribution deserves explicit recognition. That the IPN has, and continues to have, a significant influence on innovative thinking and upon the evolving “politics” of the therapy field in the UK is a fitting testimony to Nick's key contribution.
