Reviews
Murdin has written a passionate, lucid and well-informed plea for pluralism in the mind, in society, and in the practice of psychotherapy and counselling. She lays out for us the often irresistible seductions of fundamentalist certitude - and what can go wrong when people lose their sense of doubt and scepticism. It is significant that a senior therapist seeks to re-establish the credentials of liberal humanism and her book will be useful both in terms of clinical practice and important debates taking place in the field. Andrew Samuels, author of The Plural Psyche and The Political Psyche
