ExistentialHumanistic Therapy by Kirk J Schneider
Revised exploration unites European existential inquiry and American practicality. It surveys theory, history, research, and practice with vivid case examples, showing how clients break free of self-imposed limits to pursue authentic, integrative personal growth with renewed purpose."Schneider and Krug are renowned scholars and practitioners of existential–humanistic therapy. Not only does this volume clearly explain the theory and practice of existential–humanistic therapy, it is also a clear example of psychotherapy integration at its best." —George Stricker, PhD, Professor, American School of Professional Psychology at Argosy University, Arlington, VA
"I wish I could have read this book 50 years ago back when I began practicing existential-humanistic psychotherapy, building valuable 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." —Tom Greening, Ph.D., International Editor of the Journal of Humanistic Psychology, Los Angeles, CA
Provides a clear, concise, and comprehensive overview of the primary American approach to therapy in the existentialist tradition. The introduction, history, and theory sections provide a basic overview that situates this tradition of therapy in a body of work that emerged in the early 1960s, and that has developed into an integrationist orientation that, while founded on existential and humanistic principles, has the theoretical openness and flexibility to incorporate a wide range of empirically based techniques within its applications to therapeutic practice.
