A NOTE ABOUT INSERTS This issue of the British Journal of Psychotherapy contains a commissioned work, Dream Maps, by the distinguished artist Susan Hiller. Hiller is based in London and exhibits internationally. In 1996, a major retrospective exhibition of her work was presented by the Tate Gallery, Liverpool and, in London, she has featured in a number of important exhibitions in recent years including the Tate Gallery's Rites of Passage in 1995 and Material Culture at the Hayward Gallery in 1997. She may be known to readers of this journal for her acclaimed 1994 installation at the Freud Museum and for her subsequent book After the Freud Museum, published by Book Works in 1995. In 1996, Manchester University Press published an anthology of her talks, interviews and seminars and she has recently completed Dream Screens for the World Wide Web, commissioned by the Dia Foundation, New York ( http://www.diacenter.org/hiller). This year, she is presenting solo projects in Germany, the USA, Australia and Venezuela as well as taking part in a number of group exhibitions. Susan Hiller's commission is the result of a collaboration between the Journal and The Laboratory, the research unit of the Ruskin School of Drawing and Fine Art at the University of Oxford. It is one of eight commissions forming The Laboratory's Inserts project, which promotes cross-disciplinary dialogue and exchange through artists' interventions in the matter and discourses of academic journals and special interest magazines. Inserts commissions are intended to correspond with journals' existing production values and to celebrate the visual imagination as a fertile culture for the growth of new and challenging approaches to understanding contemporary life and experience. The project is supported by the Arts Council of England and Southern Arts. Antonia Payne The Laboratory Dream Maps © Susan Hiller
