Warnecke), editor of Unconscious Communication In Practice (1999), and co-editor with Bernard Burgoyne of The Klein-Lacan Dialogues.

Harriett Goldenberg, MA, MSc, CPsychol, AdDipEx, MBACP, HPC, has over twenty-five years clinical experience working with adults (including both individuals and couples), having begun by setting up one of the first fertility counselling services in England, in the NHS, whilst training as a counselling psychologist. She currently works as an existential-phenomenological psychotherapist, and has developed a deep professional interest in a wide range of experiences of marginality, and minority experience, with a strong element of intercultural work in her practice. Her writing spans a range of themes, much of it written in collaboration, such as Cradling the Chrysalis: Teaching and Learning Psychotherapy, which she wrote with friend and colleague Mary MacCallum Sullivan. In fact, collaboration is a hallmark of her work, whether it be with a client in the consulting room, a colleague in the training process, or a fellow author.
