Through a series of fascinating parallels running across different disciplines, Jacobs demonstrates the possible analysis of modes of thinking and belief - from intuitive pre-thinking, through authoritative-driven thinking and belief, and personal and polymathic knowledge, to unknowing, the last concept being one that is shared by Bion, Winnicott and major mystical tradition. Using this theoretical model the book provides a map to how clients and indeed therapists might think and believe, suggesting ways in which they may be supported as they shift through different modes, with all the anxiety that disillusionment brings.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Jacobs\u003c\/strong\u003e is Visiting Professor in the School of Public Policy at University College London.
