This third edition offers an updated primer to the theory, history,
research, and practice of existential–humanistic (EH) therapy, which
merges existential philosophy with humanistic psychotherapy. EH
therapy blends the European heritage of self-inquiry, struggle, and
responsibility with the American tradition of spontaneity, optimism,
and practicality. This book helps therapists and trainees understand
how to help people address critical life questions and attune to how
clients relate to themselves and to others, appropriately reflecting
back aspects of themselves that are evident but unnoticed. New to
this edition are significant updates to research and theory, including
the work of Otto Rank, an often-overlooked pioneer in EH therapy, and
new concepts like existential unconsciousness and life-enhancing
anxiety. The cultivation of presence as a central component of the
therapeutic relationship is also emphasized.
