Abstract

For those particularly drawn to the nature and form of storytelling within therapy, Kottler's ‘Stories We've Heard, Stories We've Told’ provides a very welcome consideration of the world of literature in its many guises. Part historical/anthropological exploration and part psychotherapeutic enquiry, incorporating extensive reference to the realms of sociology, neurophysiology and education, whatever our therapeutic modality, this is a work of considerable relevance.
