I have a special interest in the interface between religion, philosophy, the arts, and psychotherapy. I am dedicated to promoting and protecting a serious pluralistic and deconstructionist position and dialogue within the politics of psychotherapy. I believe the structure and conventions of all human organisations, and institutions, are profoundly secondary to individual personal and relational processes, - there being no inherent step from any supposed 'natural order' to human institutions, - but that, within their necessarily imperfect limits, and as a necessary evil, they should be regulated by constitutional and libertarian principles of organisation, ethics, and politics. I try to bring jest and humour to serious matters without dismissing their seriousness. I like people, by and large, and some of them I love, and I love also the natural world, particularly butterflies, the sea and moors and mountains, - as well as music and soccer.
