Zusatztext "A very quick guide to existential therapy! which will help you get your head around some complex philosophical terms and issues in a clear and straightforward way". - Professor Emmy van Deurzen! Principal of the New School of Psychotherapy and Counselling. "As a clinician who has taught existential therapy to mental health professionals and graduate students for the past twenty-five years! I have long wished for a book that would provide both an introduction and a sophisticated! non-simplistic look at existential therapy. This is not an easy task! considering the complexity of existential philosophy and the varieties of existential therapy. Susan Iacovou and Karen Weixel-Dixon have contributed just such a book. Well-written! accessible! and not full of philosophical jargon! their book makes the sometimes esoteric world of existential therapy accessible to a wide range of readers. Anyone wanting to gain an overview of existential theory and therapy would do well to start with this book. It can be returned to again and again as one gains a greater knowledge of the field and wishes to review its key concepts and practices. I would recommend it to both beginners and experienced therapists of all orientations. It should also prove to be of interested to general readers seeking an alternative to the scientistic technique-driven approaches that often dominate contemporary psychotherapy." - Betty Cannon! Ph.D.! author of Sartre and Psychoanalysis! Director of the Boulder Psychotherapy Institute (Colorado)! & founder of Applied Existential Psychotherapy (AEP)."A super contribution to the field. Comprehensive! expertly-informed and laying out existential thought and practice in a highly accessible! engaging! and applicable way." - Mick Cooper! Professor of Counselling Psychology! University of Roehampton! author of 'Existential psychotherapy and counselling: Contributions to a pluralistic practice' (Sage! 2015).
