Welcome to the second issue of volume four. The focus of this issue of the journal is dialogue, and specifically the understanding of a distinction between I-Thou and I-It in relationships. We offer articles and responses. We also offer the practical and the contemplative.

This issue takes a close look at the therapeutic relationship. More specifically, it features an article, on Martin Buber's concept of dialogue, by Colin Purcell-Lee, Professor at Manchester University, with responses from Gary Yontef and Lynne Jacobs. In addition, Sylvia Fleming Crocker offers thoughts about the place of "I-Thou" in Gestalt therapy. As bookends to these contributions, Charlie Bowman offers an editorial on the need for qualifying Gestalt therapy with the word "relational," and Philip Brownell reviews a new book by Richard Erskine, Janet Moursund, and Rebecca Trautmann called Beyond Empathy, A Therapy of Contact-in-Relationship.

There are also announcements of conferences, workshops, training opportunities, and developments in the field.
