"Strasser's text is so much more than a second edition. It is beautifully written, with clarity and spaciousness, and will appeal equally to the interested lay public as well as the experienced professional. It offers wisdom for daily life as well as guidance for the therapy room, finding a middle ground between the rigidity of technique and the chaos of 'anything goes'. Each point in the book is movingly illustrated with stories that readers will easily relate to. It is a little shocking that it is so shocking to have time acknowledged as absolutley fundamental to therapy and so pivotal to our understanding of how to live. Strasser's new book is a creative innovation and a useful primer for anyone thinking of embarking on therapy as either a client or as a professional career. A welcome departure from the usual psychotherapy text: I recommend it highly."- Dr. Greg MadisonChartered Psychologist (BPS AFBPsS, HCPC, Europsy)Reg. Psychotherapist (UKCP, ECP, WCPC)Reg. Practice Supervisor (BPS, UKCP)Focusing CoordinatorUK Europe International Online"In this new, and substantially revised, second edition of Time-Limited Existential Therapy: The Wheel of Existence, Alison Strasser retains the adventurous, investigative spirit of the first edition (co-authored with her father, Freddie Strasser) while adding to it the substantial therapeutic depth and focus which she has acquired during the intervening years. Always accessible, and packed with relevant case vignettes, the text addresses insightful ways of addressing and exploring the core concerns presented by clients within a time-limited context. Although existentially-focused, all therapists working within short term, time-limited therapy guidelines will find this important text to be a stimulating challenge to their practice."- Professor Ernesto SpinelliAuthor of Practising Existential Therapy: The relational world (2nd ed).
