I was very proud to be a member of an organisation (BACP) which took the brave step in publishing this moving account on the situation in Palestine. The psychotherapeutic world is disturbingly silent in talking about the effects of the conflict on all involved. After all is it not our primary role to acknowledge and name things for ourselves and often for our clients? In this situation it seems not to be the case. In therapeutic terms we may call this 'collusion'. I thought that the journal may have been the first in our arena to do this and I want to congratulate you on taking that decision.
