Critical Advances on PsychotherapySanta Rosa, CA, michaelb{at}sonic.net The two books under review here are somewhat different in focus and yet similar in that each examines psychotherapeutic practice in detail. The first, Deconstructing Psychotherapy, edited and introduced by Ian Parker, provides a postmodern perspective that arises out of what Parker calls `the narrative turn in psychotherapy' (p. 1). It focuses on the theory and method of narrative psychotherapies. The second, Controversies in Psychotherapy and Counselling, presents various arguments, in a dialogical form, regarding issues that dot the landscape of therapeutic practice.
