This work on psychotherapeutic dialogue aims to demonstrate how a client-therapist collaborative psychotherapeutic dialogue can help people to disentangle themselves from convoluted conversations and stereotyped usages that keep their lives from developing and to generate new meanings.

This down-to-earth guide to practicing therapy does full justice to the autonomy of individuals and the centrality of language to the human experience. It provides new insights into the core issues of change, control, and personal choice.
