Dance of Life
	Interview with Petra Klein I met Petra Klein in December 2002 at her International Institute for Dance Therapy on Tenerife. When talking to her I immediately felt that here was a kindred spirit whose aim in therapy closely resembled my own: to get people back in touch with themselves and their inner world and to help them to be more vibrant, more functional and more alive. Her methodology in achieving those goals is aptly presented in her ‘trilogy’: Dance of Life CD ... Counselling Psychology Quarterly, Volume 16, Number 1 March 2003, BrunnerRoutledge, UK (copyright)

Review of "MOTIVATIONAL INTERVIEWING Preparing People to Change Addictive Behaviour" by: W.R. Miller & S. Rollnick, The Guildford Press, New York, London, 1991
	When I was initially introduced to the subject, I immediately felt that Motivational Interviewing was an approach I would like to incorporate in my counselling skills. I felt very strongly that here was an alternative to the traditional approach in dealing with addiction, an approach that attempted to reinstate a person's lost self-esteem and self-control. In my work as a counsellor for clients with anxiety and compulsive-obsessive disorder, I constantly strive to facilitate people in taking back control over their own lives, and so this notion is one of the essential goals in my work. read on

Women's Perspectives and HIV
	Introduction: In 1994 the WHO estimated that 14 million people were currently infected with the human immunodeficiency virus worldwide. Over three million of these were women, and one half of all newly-infected people are female (Shepherd, 1994). Despite their lower number, the rate of increase in new AIDS cases is higher among women than among men (Finnegan, 1993). Women's social vulnerability exposes them to HIV infection in many ways. Often they are sexually subordinate to their partners, and find it difficult to protect themselves from infection, even when they know they are at risk. read on
Review of "Understanding the Nature of Autism", A practical guide, by Janice E. Janzen, M.S. San Antonio, Texas: Therapy Skill Builders, 1996, pbk £ 52,--, pp. 454
	It seems to have taken three years, looking at the publication date, for this brilliant insight into autism to reach the other side of the Atlantic. But thank God it finally did, for rarely have I come across a more comprehensive guide to a disorder which, in its multitude and variety of presentation, can be mind boggling for anyone having to work with people afflicted by it. The book is thus aimed at a wide readership, starting from counselling psychologists who may be involved in diagnosis and treatment, teachers and parents who are living with and training people with autism, and of course students of psychology who may want to find out the basic facts about the disorder. read on
