Abstract
Through his writing and teaching and his involvement in training, [Peter Lomas] established a space for critical and free thinking and a practice rooted in the values of ordinary humanity, intuition and humility…. Lomas was always deeply sceptical about the orthodox approach to the training of psychotherapists. It disregarded, he felt, the ordinary ways in which people helped others in distress…. ‘The Outfit'…was a radical departure in therapy training where students would determine the curriculum and assess one another's readiness to practise. The training was based on ideas of mutuality and autonomy and the belief that genuine learning and creative exploration could take place only in the context of a free and open dialogue.Paul Gordon, the Philadelphia Association[Peter] was wonderfully encouraging and enthusiastic about initiatives in which non- professional people offered help to others.Anne Ashley, founder of Parentline Plus UK
