During the 40 years since BCPC was established we have enjoyed the endorsement and support from senior colleagues in the field who have visited from time to time giving lectures and workshops to BCPC members. We continue to benefit from their academic writings which form an important part of our teaching curriculum and they have been acknowledged as Honorary members of BCPC. They include psychotherapists and published authors Bob Stolorow, Donna Orange and Richard Hycner from the US, and Patrick Casement and Michael Jacobs, leading writers and teachers in the UK.
