    First published in 1985. This book is aimed at readers who wish to learn how to engage in psychotherapy: for beginners, for experienced practitioners, for disciplined research workers, as for the author, the word 'psychotherapy' has a very broad meaning. The author describes this as an 'autobiography': the development of ideas, attitudes, and meanings which have arisen and been transformed through joy, sorrow, chaos, and relative tranquillity in a journey of forty years through the world of academic psychiatry, of analytical psychotherapy, of scientific research, and of life in a therapeutic community. To a large extent this book is an expression of individual experience.

    Biography

    Robert F. Hobson

    `[The conversational model is] the result of 30 years experience of working with distressed people and the utterly human problems of being together and yet so far from one another. It's about key words and concepts that are recognisable in any therapy session.' - - Social Work Today
