This book is for trainees and practitioners across the orientations who
wish to incorporate an existential approach into their practice. Using a
pluralistic perspective that recognises the diversity of clients and
their individual needs, it shows trainees how and when existential
concepts and practices can be used alongside other approaches.
A wealth of resources and the author's writing style make this is one of
the most accessible and inspiring introductions to existential therapy.
Videos of existential counselling in practice and written case
studies ensure existential theory is illustrated in practice, while
reflective questions and exercises help trainees relate
notoriously complex existential themes to their own knowledge and
experience. A companion website offers relevant journal articles,
video tutorials on existential counselling skills, the results of
the author's survey of the 'Top 10' existential films, novels and
songs, and much more.
This passionate and insightful book is the ideal guide to help your
trainees understand existential therapy and learn how to integrate its
ideas and practices into their therapeutic work.
