I am very proud to be a member of an organisation (BACP) which took the brave step of publishing the moving account of the situation in Palestine (Therapy Today, March 2009). The psychotherapeutic world is disturbingly silent in talking about the effects of the conflict on all involved. After all, is it not our primary role to acknowledge and name things for ourselves, and often for our clients? In this situation it seems not to be the case. In therapeutic terms we may call this ‘collusion’.
Therapy Today may have been the first in our arena to do this and I congratulate you on taking that decision.
