CONTRIBUTORS IX ImsS inger is a training therapist, writes, supervises and teaches at CAPP. Born into an immigrant family with mixed race Jewish par- ents, Irris spent the Second World War years in a very English vill- age, and became aware of difference early in her life. She spent her formative years in Israel within the idealised concept of “A Land of Difference”. Understanding the very ~turoef that social and indi- vidual difference became central to Ims‘s clinical and theoretical work and led to her co-founding the Counselling Centre for Women, Israel in 1985. Where possible she transfers what she learns in the clinical and teaching space back into the social and political arena, where she is active in Israel/Palestine peace politics. Kate White is a training therapist, supervisor and teacher at the Centre for Attachment-based Psychoanalytic Psychotherapy. For- merly senior lecturer at South Bank University in the Department of Nursing and Community Health Studies, she has used her extensive experience in adult education to contribute to the innovative psy- chotherapy curriculum developed at CAPP. In addition to working as an individual psychotherapist, Kate runs workshops on the themes of attachment and trauma in clinical practice. Informed by her experience of growing up in South Africa, she has long been interested in the impact of race and culture on theory and on clinical practice.
