This paper provides an overview of the work of Ivan Boszormenyi‐Nagy, the originator of Contextual Therapy. The initial form of Contextual Therapy is surveyed, but closer attention is paid to more recent developments in the theory and practice. Several critiques of Contextual Therapy are introduced. The paper includes a detailed example of a first session conducted according to Boszormenyi‐Nagy's principles.
