Publications.

2019. Psychotherapy, Anthropology and the Work of Culture. Edited volume. London. Karnac/Routledge Books. I edited this volume that brings together a unique collection of authors who are both professional anthropologists and trained as psychotherapists from across the world, to explore the relationship between the two disciplines and what they can learn from each other. The volume contains two chapters by me; an introduction that provides an overview of the relationship and a chapter critically exploring the shortcomings of contemporary attempts to introduce 'cultural' issues into psychotherapy training in the UK.

2018. Transcultural histories of psychotherapy. European Journal of Counselling and Psychotherapy. 20(1):1-16. In this paper I discuss some of the implications for psychotherapeutic theory of contemporary globalization and the rapid growth of psychotherapy among new social groups in countries such as India or China.

I am a founder member and one of the three directors of the European Network for Psychological Anthropology. Since its foundation last year, ENPA has grown to around 200 members and is already established as the major forum for the discussion of issues related to psychotherapy and anthropology in Europe. ENPA was launched at the 2018 European Association for Social Anthropology meetings in Stockholm and will be holding its inaugural conference in Helsinki in 2020.
