An exploration of the extensive intra-personal, interpersonal and group dynamic landscape of human experience pertinent to the understanding of the human shadow in the training of psychotherapists. Using phenomenological enquiry this book invites unique, in-depth experiences, provides new insights and addresses the complexities and diversities inherent in the emergence and containment of shadow experience in psychotherapy training. This book takes the reader through a process of qualitative research and invites the reader to explore his or her own relationships to the love of others, through the exploration of all the things that love is not. It argues that without hate we cannot truly love. Interspersed throughout the book are suggestions for personal exploration and it is hoped that reading this book will both stimulate practitioners to a process of self-reflection and questioning, and also support practitioner researchers in their own journey to self-understanding.

Wilkinson, Kate: - Kate Wilkinson had fifteen years experience as a psychiatric nurse in the National Health Service Prior to coming into the psychotherapy profession. This was primarily in acute settings which housed'seclusion' rooms for potentially aggressive patients. Kate's interestin human aggression led her to work in forensic psychiatry, with people who had offended against society to the extreme of arson, rape, manslaughter and murder. The appalling learning which impacted Kate was that the most significant difference between patients and staff was the degree to which feelings and thoughts were acted out behaviourally. The potential to destroy is inherent in being human and as such is in each one of us. This experience enhanced Kate's sensitivity to human aggression, not least, as it showed itself in the five counselling and psychotherapy trainings which she undertook, prior to co-founding a training institute herself. Kate has challenged her colleague trainers and institute leaders to explore the place of human aggression in the caring profession of psychotherapy.
