Trade Review
'Campbell Purton has managed to explain, where others have failed, how it is that psychotherapy of many theoretical varieties can and actually does work. He develops an adequate understanding of psychotherapy, a last: an understanding that is not itself a theory.' - Dr. Rupert Read, Reader in Philosophy, School of Philosophy, Politics and Languages.
