The best possible compendium on Cognitive Analytic Therapy, presented clearly and thoughtfully in this latest edition. -- Susie Orbach, Psychotherapist
Elizabeth McCormick has the unusual ability to transform psychotherapeutic concepts into a language that enables clients to draw on these models for their own use. This book should be recommended to anyone wishing to understand and work through their suffering and to gain greater clarity and emotional resilience. -- Jane Ryan
This is that rare thing – a wise, compassionate and above all practical book, grounded in years of good psychotherapy practice.  Imbued with the understanding that we are selves in relation to others, it is straightforward without being simplistic.  It delivers what it promises, whether for self-help, a supportive resource in therapy or as a readable introduction to therapeutic change -- Glenys Parry, Emeritus Professor
It’s tough to combine a wise, compassionate and practical book in one – but this succeeds well -- Julia Bueno
