By Gillian Straker<\/strong> (Australia) and Jacqui Winship<\/strong> (Australia)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Published by Pan Macmillan Australia, this title will be useful to therapists, supervisors and mentors as well as lay readers in providing a lively, accessible but not simplistic peak into the consulting room and into what a relational approach offers. The book breaks down the boundaries between \u201cus\u201d and \u201cthem\u201d in the therapeutic couple, focusing on common relational dynamics that limit our degrees of relational freedom in everyday life.<\/p>\n

Straker and Winship, Sydney-based psychotherapists each with more than 25 years of clinical experience, pay homage to the many ways in which the therapist can learn from the patient, reflecting the deep value they place on the patient\u2019s experience.\u00a0The authors present nine stories of personal transformation, grounded in an understanding that therapeutic relationship can be partly replicated in our everyday lives by the simple practice of paying attention and being truly present with those we love. The Talking Cure<\/em> aims to deepen one\u2019s sense of what it is to be open to connection and to recognize that to be human is to be just a little bit mad.<\/p>\n
