As a psychotherapist, in whose name do I speak? How can I come to speak in my own name? What does `tradition¿ mean in psychotherapy? Originally published in 1993, the contributors to this book ¿ all practising psychotherapists and teachers ¿ explore these questions and investigate how theories and practices are passed on from one generation to the next. Their responses range over questions of training and indoctrination, the idea of tradition in the thought of Freud, Jung and Winnicott, and the implications of these questions for the practice of psychotherapy.

Leading author Paul Kline describes clearly the theory, methods and findings of the psychometric testing of personality, and discusses the practical applications of tests to occupational, educational and clinical psychology.
