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 revised 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.
This is the textbook used by the faculty at Existential-Humanistic Institute in our program offerings. Students use this at the Existential-Humanistic Training Retreats and in the Foundations of Existential-Humanistic Therapy Certification program. Both Kirk Schneider and Orah Krug are EHI Faculty and members of the EHI Board. This year's faculty will be Orah Krug, Troy Piwowarski, Kirk Schneider, Nader Shabahangi, and Sonja Saltman.
