The third volume in the Clarkson on Psychotherapy series brings
together a fascinating selection of Professor Clarkson?s work. Most
of the material has not previously been formally published, and
ranges, from the beginnings of Gestalt through the importance - in
life and therapy - of inborn constitutional temperamental types, to
fundamental concerns in using philisophical discipline in
psychology and Clarkson?s demonstration how the five-relational
model can be applied to research, is impressive. Psychotherapists
of all schools will find much to interest them in Clarkson on
Psychotherapy 3, and students as well as practitioners will find
the range and depth of papers not only demanding but also
stimulating. This volume of papers starts with a paper about the
beginnings of Gestalt which was first presented at the World
Conference in 1996. Chapters 2 and 3 are here formally published
for the first time although the material in it has been
well-appreciated over some decades in ?samizdat? copies. Chapter 4
is a sample of Professor Clarkson?s work stressing the importance
in life and in therapy of inborn constitutional temperamental
types. Chapter 5 reports a joint research project into narratives
of psychotherapy in modern English Literature.Chapter 6 surveys the
field of Transpersonal psychology. Chapter 7 addresses some
foundational concerns in using philosophical discipline in
psychology. Finally, chapter 8 shows how the five-relations model
can be applied to research.
