Book reviewing for The Psychotherapist

UKCP policy is to try to 'match' books with the themes of particular issues of The Psychotherapist. We are, however, also looking at including new and previously published book reviews on our website, as a useful resource for registrants.

If possible your review should be no longer than 350 words and should provide a general overview of the publication, otherwise we may have to cut it to fit available space. Please ensure that you state your name, ISBN and the book's publisher and price at the end of your review.

If you have a book that you have written that you would like to be reviewed by a third party, please send it to the UKCP office, and it will be included on the review list printed in The Psychotherapist.

UKCP does not pay book reviewers, but reviewers are welcome to keep the book.

If you have any queries please contact Jude Cohen-Phillips on 020 7014 9969, e-mail:
