Abstract

By choosing to read this book, you show a willingness to entertain new ideas, expand your therapeutic knowledge, and generally enjoy the fruits of curiosity and enquiry. Since beginning a new chapter has certain uncertainties, it’s important to read critically to pick out certain ideas you may find new or valuable. You may already be anticipating what valuable knowledge you will rediscover here that you already know, or you may be looking forward to learning something new and useful. Perhaps you would like to make yourself comfortable before you get absorbed in this chapter; you might want to start as soon as you are ready to absorb whatever is most useful from the experience, or just have an absorbing beginning from the start.
