Welcome to Contemporary Psychotherapy. With the professional community of psychotherapists and counsellors in mind, Contemporary Psychotherapy aims to be progressive, inquiring and creative, to encourage interactive debate with its international readership and to address rather than avoid the possibly contentious.

Editorial
Welcome to the first issue of our twelfth volume, and one that we are aware has been a long time coming. For the first time since we launched, over a decade ago, we're excited to be able to say that we’ve upgraded our website, and you’ll notice changes both in terms of your interaction with the site, and what we utilise in the background. This not only makes us more contemporary in terms of how we look, but we're confident we're also now better placed to develop and make changes in how we work going forwards.
A key development to our website is the addition of our contributor profiles, included under ‘Our team’, where contributors who have submitted two or more articles in the last five years now have their own page on the website. Contributors can display links to their articles on Contemporary Psychotherapy, as well as any external links and website addresses/social media handles, with a short biography and a picture. These pages can be linked in with contributor’s own social media accounts, to encourage reciprocal sharing and following, supporting the development of both our, and your, online presence...
