`A book brimming with ideas ... of interest to professionals thinking about issues of gender in the female therapist-male patient dyad and those whose patients bring art objects to the consulting room.' International Journal of Psychoanalysis'Schaverien has some timely thoughts on the gender issue for female therapists.' - International Journal of Psychotherapy'An open, immensely erudite and educative book...this is vital and pleasurable reading for all interested in the construction, consumption and interpretaion of images within and without the walls of the consulting room' - Journal of Analytical Psychology'A significant contribution to the growing literature by women clinicians on the area of female countertransference and desire.' - Psychodynamic Counselling'Interesting ideas and engaging clinical material. I found the discussion honest and very touching as it gave a feel of the therapist's internal struggles with difficult patients...Schaverien demonstrates quite conclusively that the erotic is present in art therapy and needs to be acknowledged.' - Inscape'In this scholarly book Schaverien has two purposes. She says that these are to 'bring the desire of the female therapist out into the light' and 'to open the topic for discussion inall forms of psychotherapy'. She does achieve these ends but her book is much richer than even her declared aims would suggest.' - Counselling'Friedrich Hayek's influence has been tremendous.' - Milton Friedman'I regard Hayek's work as a new opening of the most fundamental debate in the field of political philosophy.' - Sir Karl Popper'In ... Professor Hayek's thesis there is a great deal of truth ... collectivism is not inherently democratic, but, on the contrary, gives to a tyrannical minority such powers as the Spanish Inquisition never dreamed of.' - George Orwell'One of the great political thinkers of our time.' - Roger Scruton'Hayek's complete works form one of the most profound political philosophies written this century.' - Norman P. Barry'In a world of too rapid change, we are grateful for the few seemingly unmovable landmarks. One such is surely Professor Hayek.' - The Economic Journal'There was a time when the new theories of Hayek were the principal rival of new theories of Keynes. Which was right?' - Sir John Hicks`The third quarter of this century has been described as "the age of Keynes" ... in terms of the economic problems now facing us, the current period might more accurately be termed "the age of Hayek".' - The Times
