Review
`This book is a fascinating collection of strands woven together to give a picture of how discursive methods provide a more detailed and fuller understanding of various phenomena which have long been the focus of psychological activity... it provides the reflective practitioner with new ways of looking at existing problems, and it may lead to a re-evaluation of the way we see and understand our world.
