Media Reviews
′In this solid, well-researched book, Faris and van Ooijen explain their Relational Integrative Model (RIM) ′ a holistic and relational model that honours the perspectives from different theories′ (p1). Faris and van Ooijen come from very different theoretical perspectives and so bring to the book a wide, inclusive and varied knowledge of therapy. This is an academic text, not light reading - a truly meaty read underpinned with extensive background research. But it will be accessible to any therapist, irrespective of their training′ -
Therapy Today
′Initially sceptical about yet another therapy ′approach′ or ′model′, this book quickly won me over with its copious wisdom rooted in a mature engagement with intersubjectivity, and with leading-edge pluralistic postmodern and contemplative perspectives. It is a major, integrating contribution to developing an alive, ′new paradigm′ approach to therapy that transcends schoolist parochialism, and challenges the worst excesses of overly ′modernist′ therapeutic ideologies and practices′ -
