“You are not a therapist until you have made your first one thousand mistakes!”
This was a frequently used phrase within our profession in the 70′s and 80′s. It reflected a philosophic view, current at that time that mistakes were inevitable, were to be learned from and reflected upon, and proved oftentimes to be productive within therapy.
Colin Lago Temenos Conference 2011
We enjoyed interviewing Colin Lago about his new book “The Handbook of Transcultural Counselling and Psychotherapy”. This new book is a seminal work which brings together recent critical thinking and research and the exploration of the impact of different cultural heritages upon potential clients and therapists.
