"Mann and Cunningham have brought together a fine collection of clinicians, from diverse backgrounds and both sides of the Atlantic, providing an unprecedented depth and breadth of exploration of enactment. This will be of great importance and interest to seasoned practitioners as well as those in training." Phil Mollon, Psychoanalyst, British Psychoanalytic Society; Psychotherapist, Tavistock Society, and Clinical Psychologist, UK
"Its strength lies in the richness and variety of the clinical case studies and the preparedness of the authors to disclose their own current and historical material to throw light on what has happened in the therapy. Although some of the theoretical concepts may be unfamiliar to practitioners trained outside the psychoanalytic tradition, it will appeal to readers who have enjoyed books like Patrick Casements On Learning from the Patient. It should appeal to readers at all levels of training." - Julia Greer, Therapy Today, February 2009
"What a gift of a book. Honest, effectively theorised self-revelation, without shame or defence, by experienced practitioners; accessible chunks of narrative and chewy, interesting, joined-up theory. A good book to dip into as well as to think deeply about the interconnections between theory and practice and how that plays out in real lives in real therapeutic relationships." Sandy Hutchinson Nunns, The Independent Practitioner, Spring 2009
