Trade ReviewA very engaging book, which comprehensively covers many of the issues around anti-racism and anti-discriminatory practice in counselling and psychotherapy. Unlike other writers, Dr McKenzie-Mavinga has taken these issues seriously enough to draw attention to the matter of breach of ethical codes. The book is a leader in its field. - Lennox K. Thomas, Consultant Psychoanalytic Psychotherapist, Senior Member of the British Psychotherapy Foundation, UK The Challenge of Racism in Therapeutic Practice is a much-needed resource for the psychotherapy profession. This book challenges us to critically reflect on and keep alive issues of racism, and to undertake responsibility for dialogue. - Dr Harbrinder Dhillon-Stevens, Registered Counselling Psychologist & Psychotherapist, HDS Psychological Services Ltd, UK
