James Standish's new psychotherapy patient, Joan, tells him that she had sexual relations with her previous therapist, who also happens to be James's respected senior colleague. When James is faced with the dilemma of whether or not to support his former mentor, he has to confront his own less-than-blameless private life.
Written by a senior practicing psychotherapist, COMPROMISE has played to packed houses in london fringe theatres, and has formed the centre piece of conferences on psychotherapy. The full text, along with the author's note, and an introduction by Earl Hopper, will also be of interest to anyone concerned by the moral clashes that can take place at the interface of the personal and the professional.
