#DavidArmstrong’s book Organization in the Mind is somethink like poetry in its deep and creative curiosity into organisations. In the world of organisational consultancy he’s pretty much the Godfather of the deep work of group relations.

Michael Rustin’s open minded and serious book Researching the Unconscious is about as close to a how-to book in researching the unconscious. He’s a meticulous thinker, pedant even, about getting psychoanalytically informed research just right.

Methods of Research into the Unconscious edited by Kalina Stamenova and the gentle Robert Hinshelwood is another important guide on how to access the unconscious in research. It will expand your mind about what is possible in researching actual people. www.survivingwork.org/surviving-wo...

One of the threads of the story of UberTherapy is that the new business model of mental health acts as a defence against thinking. That it invites us to stop thinking about the systems within which we are working.

One of the truly brave thinkers in #psychoanalysis #SallyWeintrobe who writes with exquisite forensic care about our denial of the reality of #climatecrisis .

Not everyone is designed to stare into the abyss but the something-is-better-than-nothing argument supporting ChatGPT Therapy is that it plays upon our ambivalence of having relationships with other people.

The title did make me gasp & pretty much kept going throughout this remarkable edited book. How psychoanalysis can help you think about things you want to back away from. Brave stuff from profoundly experienced practitioners @TaviAndPort #DavidMorgan and #StanleyRuszczynski

Just the number of post it notes alone should indicate how useful this book was in forming my ideas about the uberization of therapy. Denigration of care in the UK, how very dare you from the thoughtful greats #JulianLousada & #AndrewCooper

We stand at the tipping point in the ‘race to the bottom’ that UberTherapy represents. And it can only be by protecting our ability to really say what’s on our minds that we can work through whether something is actually better than nothing.

In the era of #UberTherapy is a digital something better than a clinical nothing?

In UberTherapy I use #RobertMoneyKyrle's 'facts of life' to measure the consequences of uberization that denies the insecurity of needing others who do not mirror us in relationships that will at some point end.

If you don't know the balm-like quality of #MargotWaddell and #SebastianKraemer's work then don't let this business-like cover fool you. Deep detailed framing of the history of the Tavistock tradition and how we use psychoanalytic ideas in our lives.

You might wonder what a book about introducing electronic monitoring systems in the trucking sector tells us about the future of therapy. #UberTherapy is a business model that has nothing to do with therapy. Another fantastic book by journalist @KarenLevy about platformization.

I'm on a roll with books that provoke book-envy. This book by #RobertChapman I didn't read until after the final copyedit of UberTherapy. Probably a mercy because its a mind expanding read about #neurodiversity.

It should come with a health warning for authors that you will experience that most awful disease of book-envy. But if your ego can stand the brilliance of #ChinaMills @deathsbywelfare you will learn important things.

One of the most gracious minded thinkers in #psychotherapy is #RosieRizq who writes about #NHStalkingtherapies as a critical insider. For therapists to say what is on their mind about their work is surprisingly difficult. She made it possible for the rest of us.

This book by the journalist @danamattioli.bsky.social about the e-commerce tsunami of Amazon arrived late in the drafting of #UberTherapy offering a roadmap for what happens when therapy becomes a sector of e-commerce and retail therapy.

I'm starting a series of posts about some of the important books behind mine, UberTherapy published this week by @bristoluniversitypress. This book by US psychotherapists & researchers - including Linda Michaels from @psianofficial - pretty much lays the roadmap for the future of therapy in the UK.
