Everyday secrets. Existential measurements of psychotherapy. Van Dortzen E.

The final answer to the question of what existential psychotherapy is, so far has not yet been found. At the same time, someone - like Ernesto Spinelli - is convinced that it is necessary to talk about existential therapy, that the additive “psycho -” distorts the meaning. And someone - like Mick Cooper - believes that this phrase must be used in the plural, that is, “therapy”, because such a colorful carpet of practitioner cannot be combed by iodine one rowing.

The book proposed to readers was written more than 20 years ago and became not only one of the first attempts to describe the approach, but also an excellent textbook for many existential practices. The inspired presentation of theoretical philosophical foundations is supplemented not only by a review of their practical attempts - from the historically the first Binswanger and the boss to the now resonant Yalom and Ahenbach, but also by the author’s own idea of ​​the goals, rules and the structure of the existential project. The book completes a detailed description of the case from practice.
