Abstract
This paper has two interwoven layers. The primary narrative pays tribute to C.M. Bevan-Brown, who catalysed the beginnings of the New Zealand Association of Psychotherapists in 1947. The secondary narrative picks up two elements from among his formidable array of interests and activities and, using them as a mirror, attempts to provoke awareness for readers in 2003 of some forces shaping our assumptions and behaviours. In particular, we look at our relationship to 'the establishment', the effects of post-modernism, the interface between psychotherapy and medicine, and psychotherapy's relative neglect of the body and embodiment.
