"Packed with insights, knowledge, critique and reflections about colonialism, the colonisation of land, body and psyche, this engaging and readable volume challenges us to reflect on the realities of lived experience and the impacts of the trauma of colonisation and oppression. It argues for a radical change in therapeutic practice, so that at the very least it does not add to or augment the harms." Dr. Marguerite Woods.
Talha AlAli’s work questions the very basis of the often ethnocentric knowledge, rationale and logic that underlies most therapeutic approaches. His critique compels us to think again, unlearn, and relearn about what a decolonised practice looks like and can achieve.

“Decolonised Minds: When Radical Becomes Rational offers accessible and inspiring guidance around the meaning of decolonised therapeutic practice, and how it can be delivered in a manner that is responsive to the real-world needs and concerns of clients. Talha AlAli draws on extensive experience with clients in a wide range of settings to demonstrate both large and small ways that a pluralistic decolonised perspective can be articulated. His book is carefully and thoroughly contextualised in relation to current theory and research, includes valuable practical worksheets, and is supported by on-line resources. Decolonised Minds is essential reading for both students and trainees embarking on a career as a counsellor or psychotherapist, and seasoned practitioners interested in developing their awareness, skills and competence in relation to social justice-oriented therapy.”
