Talk it over: the power of therapy

Dr Jacqui Winship is a Sydney-based clinical psychologist and psychotherapist, who along with Sydney University Professor in the School of Psychology, Gillian Straker, has written a book called The Talking Cure. In it, they take the reader inside the therapy room to meet nine clients who are ficitional amalgams of real-life cases, and explain how they have used talk therapy to resolve deep seated issues that affect their lives. Dr Winship says therapy should be an investment in future wellbeing, not just a reserved for those who've reached a crisis point.
