Psychotherapy and search for happiness. Emmy Van Dortzen

Often, a person leads to the therapy an unspoken, desperate desire to achieve happiness. Should the therapist ignore this desire, should it interpret it or challenge him? We are all so obsessed with the desire to happiness - what does this mean for our culture? In this book, Emmy Van Dortzen explores the taboo theme of the moral role of psychotherapists and analysts. "When and why did we decide that the purpose of life is to become happy?" - the author asks and turns to the search for the meaning of life.

In this work, the author tries to find out what a good life is and how therapists can help their customers achieve this state and stop endless searches for happiness.
