The World Library of Mental Health celebrates the important contributions to mental health made by leading experts in their individual fields. Each author has compiled a career-long collection of what they consider to be their finest pieces, including extracts from books, journals, articles, major theoretical and practical contributions, and salient research findings.
Miller Mair, a clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, devoted his life to developing a psychology that provided a radical alternative to the behavioural and cognitive-behavioural approaches that have dominated the field. This book is based upon Miller’s selection of his works, including several previously unpublished papers as well as others that are now out of print.

Additional Information
Miller was considerably influenced by George Kelly’s personal construct psychology, which is apparent in most of his writings. His papers also draw upon imagery, metaphor, storytelling and narrative, rhetoric, discourse and conversation, poetry, and spirituality. This volume is hoped to provide an antidote to the disenchantment that many readers may feel with mechanistic and reductionist approaches in psychology and its clinical applications.
