For those entering it for the first time, psychotherapy can be bewildering territory. Claims and counter-claims by those committed to a particular approach create the need for a balanced appraisal of what the approaches have in common, as well as their distinguishing features. The first edition of "Introduction to Psychotherapy" proved a welcome answer to this need and quickly achieved an established position on the reading lists of many counselling and psychotherapy courses. This revised and expanded second edition takes into account further developments in the profession over the last ten years, and its bibliographical material has been brought completely up to date. It is an invaluable reference book for any professional working in the mental health field and an introduction for anyone with an interest in psychotherapy. This book is aimed at professionals in psychiatry, psychology, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, social work and related areas.

This collection of written pieces plots the work of an NHS psychotherapist, Jonathan Pedder, turning the science of psychiatry into human encounters. He had a career teaching and inspiring colleagues and students with psychoanalytic ways of thinking, encouraging and supporting them in the challenges of contemporary psychiatry. In his work he made the world of psychoanalysis accessible to non-analysts, and this book augments the textbook on psychotherapy which Pedder wrote with Dennis Brown. Pedder was a quiet visionary influential in offering a pathway for mental health workers from many disciplines to find their way to the psychoanalytic ideas that illuminate their patients/clients.'- Professor R. D. Hinshelwood, Author of Clinical Klein and Dictionary of Kleinian Thought
