Existential-Humanistic Therapy (Theories of Psychotherapy) 1st Edition by Kirk J

Description: Existential-Humanistic Therapy (Theories of Psychotherapy) 1st Edition by Kirk J Existential-Humanistic Therapy (Theories of Psychotherapy) 1st Editionby Kirk J. Schneider (Author), Orah T. Krug (Author) 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. In this book, Dr. Schneider and Dr. Krug present and explore this approach, its theory, history, the therapy process, primary change mechanisms, empirical basis, and future developments. This essential primer to existential humanistic therapy, amply illustrated with case examples, is perfect for graduate students studying theories of therapy and counseling as well as for seasoned practitioners interested in understanding this approach. Editorial ReviewsReview "An admirable contribution... Schneider and Krug do a superb job of explaining basic existential theory for the reader unfamiliar with modern-day existential thought." --PsycCRITIQUES® I wish I could have read this book 50 years ago when I began practicing existential humanistic psychotherapy, building on valuable prior training in psychodynamic theory and practice. And I wish Rollo May, Jim Bugental, and others had lived to see their work so well explicated and extended to help people deepen their meaningful engagement in life. Schneider and Krug have gifted us with a book that enriches this profound movement to make psychotherapy good for the soul. --Thomas Greening, PhD, International Editor, Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Los Angeles, CA This is a very good book, presented as an introduction to existential humanistic therapy. It is so good that, once read, it will create a hunger to discover more about this very important approach to psychotherapy. --Daryl S.
