This second edition provides an updated introduction to the theory,
history, research, and practice of existential-humanistic therapy,
which merges existential philosophy with humanistic psychotherapy,
along with recent trends in existential-integrative therapy.
Existential-humanistic therapy melds European existential philosophy,
which values self-inquiry, struggle, and responsibility, with the
American tradition of spontaneity, optimism, and practicality. In this
updated edition of their popular book, Kirk Schneider and Orah Krug
demonstrate how this unique approach can help clients free themselves
from self-imposed limitations and develop a deeper understanding of
their authentic life goals by cultivating skills such as experiential
reflection. Schneider and Krug explore existential-humanistic
therapy’s theoretical and historical underpinnings, its empirical
foundations, the therapeutic process and mechanisms of change, as well
as future developments. Detailed case examples vividly illustrate the
work of existential-humanistic therapy, highlighting key takeaways
that are equally accessible and valuable to graduate students and
veteran practitioners. New to this second edition is an increased
focus on a more integrative perspective, which makes
existential-humanistic therapy applicable to a wider array of settings
and diagnostic populations. This flexibility also makes it more
adaptable to other therapeutic approaches and expands its influence on
clinical psychology as a whole.
