Saying hullo again by Michael White, read by Hamilton Kennedy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is an audio recording of a paper that was originally published in Dulwich Centre Newsletter, the precursor to this journal, in 1988.

Complexities of disability, chronic illness and able-bodied privilege by Gipsy Hosking (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this episode, Gipsy Hosking shares her lived experience of chronic illness to give an introduction to disability politics.

Together, we look in unexpected corners for safe places to build a team of support and solidarity. I
My favourite questions by Jill Freedman, read by Esther Benz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this recording of a favourite paper from the journal’s archives, Jill Freedman offers three sets of questions that she names as “favourites” in her own work. The first two sets of questions are ones therapists can ask clients. The first set may help people link their lives with others. The second may help people organise their experiences into narratives. The third is a question that therapists can ask themselves to help them come to questions that promote experiential involvement. Additional
