A writer is something of a thief. He steals quotations and ideas from many sources. This work has borrowed or stolen from too many people to provide a satisfactory acknowledgment. I would like to thank my students at the Hatfield, North London and Preston Polytechnics for their patience and often honest bewilderment.My gratitude goes especially to Gillian Ballance, Shirley and Alex Mendoza, John Pitts, Kay Carmichael, to my wife, Althea. What little merit lies in this book belongs entirely to the patience and generosity of my Zen teacher, Dr Irmgard Schloegl of the Buddhist Society.I acknowledge the faith and encouragement of Peter Hopkins of the publishers as well as permission to use passages from my original essay 'Zen Social Work' from the editor of Social Work Today.
