Psychotherapy has seen various 'turns' in how we view the process of change, but in this tour de force, psychotherapist and historian Sue Wright sets them against the backdrop of Old Father Time, the great leveller. What are the existential challenges of living in Time, and how can therapists help their clients meet and come to terms with them? We hear how the therapeutic hour provides the 'book ends' of a 'relational and temporal idiom' in which the dance between Kairos and Chronos is heightened. Using a neurobiologically informed approach - essential for working with trauma survivors - Sue illustrates how time heals, and how our experience of past events is altered, allowing new ways of experiencing the present and imagining the future. The book will be useful for students in training as well as seasoned practitioners. Tree Staunton, UKCP Honorary Fellow, Director of Bath Centre for Psychotherapy and Counselling
