`This book provides a most moving testimony to the often ignored session-to-session movement in patients' gendered experience of themselves... Marie Maguire eloquently conveys the complexity involved in current therapy debates...a most readable and timely book.' - Janet Sayers
`It is rare to encounter a book with such an accomplished integration of theory and practice in such a complex and important area.' - Stephen Frosh
`a useful resource for any therapeutic or counselling training, or discussion of psychotherapeutic practice, in which gender issues are so powerfully inscribed. It is clearly relevant for all `psychology of women' or women's studies courses that address mental health issues, and provides a succinct summary of a key set of debates.' - Feminism & Psychology
