International Therapist (IT) started life back in July 1994. Just 28 pages, it had a blue cover but was otherwise printed in black and white, with just the occasional, basic illustration. Nevertheless, this was an extremely exciting development for the FHT, as in the past, information and industry updates were communicated to members via periodical newsletters, which consisted of single sheets of coloured A4 paper. And, as is often the case with the FHT, IT was a ‘first’ – there were no other membership journals for professional therapists until the FHT led the way with International Therapist 18 years ago.
