20/20 Vision, 2020
Synopsis
Structured in the form of 20 pieces of writing, this book offers critical reflections on teaching; psychotherapy theory, the education and training of psychotherapists, and the profession of psychotherapy itself; COVID-19; language, writing, grammar, and logic; engagement with Te Tiriti o Waitangi; and much more. Throughout the book, most of which was written in the year 2020, the author, a professor of psychotherapy and the editor of the international journal Psychotherapy & Politics International, weaves his reflections on and concerns about psychotherapy, mental health, and the social world, including the political world. Drawing on the concept and metaphor of vision, his book presents, as one reviewer puts it: ‘a stimulating blend of hindsight and foresight’.
