Literature and Therapy: A Systemic View is an invitation to the world of literature, drawing us into the creative and imaginative spaces which lie between readers and their choice of novels, plays and poems. In this world, the fundamental importance of emotion and intuition is recognized, as is the power of literature to promote transformations of meaning in everyday life and in therapeutic practice. Liz Burns demonstrates how a systemic view, highlighting relationships, calls the reader to explore both therapy and literature with fresh eyes, newly motivated thoughts and a lightening heart.
