Asleep on the Volcano: The Poetic Landscape of Psychotherapy

Asleep on the Volcano is a melting pot of poetry, painting and psychotherapy. It depicts the author's own essential disturbance and recovery from working with people who have suffered injuries of the mind.

Marcus Price is a psychotherapist who lives in Kent, UK. He studied psychoanalytic psychotherapy at the University of Kent after a diploma in nursing at Canterbury Christ Church University (Christ Church College as was, 1993-96). He went on to study group analysis at the Institute of Group Analysis and clinical supervision at the Society of Analytical Psychology.

He has a life-long interest in painting and writing poems although he has never formally studied either. He is a member of the Group Analytic Society International and former poetry editor of their newsletter 'Contexts'. He is the founder of The Experiential Pyschotherapy Inititiative Community, a psychotherapist cooperative that offers affordable professional development for healthcare workers.
