Biography

Lyndsey Moon is an ESRC Research Fellow in the Department of Sociology at Warwick University. She is also a highly specialist counselling psychologist for Central and North West London Mental Health Trust.

"A wonderful blend of psychology, philosophy and politics, this book is an essential reader for anyone wishing to work intelligently and sensitively with clients.  It covers an impressive breadth of scholarship: from psychoanalysis to phenomenology, to systemic and social constructivist theories.  And just when you think you've read it all before, there's something to be learned waiting round the corner." - Roshan das Nair, Consultant Clinical Psychologist (HIV & Sexual Health), Department of Clinical Psychology & Neuropsychology, Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, UK

"I particularly enjoyed Lyndsey Moon’s own chapter about the construction of emotion, Catherine Butler and Angela Byrne’s readable and lucid account of their work in HIV and sexual health services and Peter Hegarty’s writing on queer methodologies." – Chris Rose, Psychotherapists and Writer, Therapy Today, May 2008
