Existential-Humanistic Therapy: Theories of Psychotherapy

Autor Kirk J. Schneider, Orah T. Krug
en Limba Engleză Paperback – oct 2009
In Existential - Humanistic Therapy, Kirk J. Schneider and Orah T. Krug discuss the history, theory, and practice of this distinctly American expression of existential therapy. Existential - humanistic therapy welds the European existential philosophical heritage of self-inquiry, struggle, and responsibility with the American tradition of spontaneity, optimism, and practicality. Contrary to its common reputation as a purely intellectual form of therapy, this approach emphasizes not only the concepts of freedom and responsibility, but experiential reflection, in which clients experience their problems in session through a process of checking in with their affective and bodily sensations. The goal of this therapy is to help clients free themselves from self-imposed limitations and come to a deeper understanding of their authentic life goals, versus those imposed by others or by a rigid sense of self. This approach, which is becoming increasingly integrative, is applicable in a wide array of settings and diagnostic populations and, because of its emphasis on key contextual factors, is increasingly influential on the therapeutic profession as a whole.

Descriere

The book provides an in-depth survey of contemporary existential-humanistic (E-H) theory, practice, and research. In particular, the book highlights E-H therapy's historical development, theoretical underpinnings, and practical applications alongside the very latest in process and outcome research. Furthermore, the book features the most recent theoretical and practical applications of E-H therapy to a broad diversity of ethnic and diagnostic populations. Among the theorists highlighted are Rollo May, Irvin Yalom, James Bugental, Kirk Schneider, and Orah Krug, an emerging female voice within the E-H movement.
