Reviews
'Psychotherapists tend to think of themselves as harbingers of hope for clients, much like birds in the spring, but in <i>Dancing between Hope and Despair</i> Sue Wright poignantly captures how complex each of these issues is for traumatised clients. She describes how easily hope is confused with 'happily ever after, ' how familiar it can be to slip into despair and how frightening hope can be for those whose survival has depended upon surrender. Along with this attuned understanding of hope and despair, Sue also offers practical strategies that can awaken the potential for hope that lies in each of us, even the most despairing.' - <i>Dr Janina Fisher, Assistant Educational Director, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy Institute, USA; Director of Psychological Services, Khiron Clinics, UK</i> 'This unique book wrestles with a difficult but easily recognisable struggle that therapists experience in working with traumatised clients. It depicts a very real journey through the delights and challenges of this work, with an honesty and integrity that is very refreshing.' <i> Dr Nikki Kiyimba, Programme Leader MSc Therapeutic Practice for Psychological Trauma, University of Chester, UK</i>
