This book represents the author’s extensive experience in the field of psychotherapy, counselling, and mental health over four decades.

It focuses on the culture of psychotherapy and counselling in context, made more relevant and dialogic with the inclusion of reflections from colleagues from South Asia on each chapter. Informed by person-centred psychology and transactional analysis, and the book takes a meta-view of the different elements that influence the internal and external worlds of both the therapist and the client. Concepts of space, time, place, and persons are contextualised in and across different cultures. The book very succinctly describes life with its polarities of suffering and hope, and anxieties and satisfaction within the uniqueness of the therapeutic relationship.

This volume is the outcome of extensive research, a wide range of experiences, and a synthesis of different therapies and minds. It is an excellent guide for therapists, both beginning and experienced. This book will be useful to students, researchers, teachers, and supervisors working in the fields of psychology, psychotherapy, counselling, social work, and sociology. It will also be an invaluable companion to educationalists and practitioners in these fields.
