Literature Reviews:
Introduction 

REVIEW FORMAT:

Our  reviews of the professional literature of psychotherapy fall into three parts:
content synopsis,  rhetorical review, and commentary.  

The synopses summarize the core ideas/arguments of the book or article with reference to key quotations (for each book chapter or article sub-heading).

The rhetorical reviews assess the effect that the formal aspects or 'style' of the writing have on the reviewer's reception of its content or argument, and include a discussion of the relation between theory and case material in the text.

The commentaries express the writer's questions and challenges to the text. 

Reviewers familiar with the author's other published work may comment on the place of  the text  within the authors larger body of work, and within the general literature on the same topic.

Books and articles reviewed here are indexed separately by author and topic.

AUTHOR DISCUSSION LISTS:

Individual authors may also have a discussion list dedicated to a more informal dialogue about their work.  If you would like to contribute to such a discussion, please email us so we can set one up for the author of your choice.   When they exist, these discussion lists will be accessible through the author's name in the Author Index.
