Publisher's Synopsis
Comprising a diverse range of theories and practices, existential therapy is a philosophically-informed approach to counselling or psychotherapy - stressing the philosophical exploration of an individual's experiences while emphasizing the individual's freedom and responsibility to facilitate a higher degree of meaning and well-being. Recent years have seen existential therapy increasingly considered to be a particular and specific approach unto itself, providing an opportunity for psychotherapists to express their creativity and independence. This title provides an inclusive overview of the history, development, theory, philosophy, applications, and practices of the field.
