By Thérèse Woodcock on the work of Margaret Lowenfeld

Psychotherapy or therapy, for me, is about bringing our basic beliefs into consciousness. it is about communicating these beliefs in the presence of another and having these reflected back to us so that we become aware of them. It is about finding new ways to respond to what had become untenable or intolerable; it is about forging new attitudes and discovering new ways of seeing an old situation. However, any meaningful changes that occur could only happen if these changes were to be effected in a manner that made sense to the person seeking change, and integrated into a whole, thus affecting the entire outlook and personality.
