Emmy Van Deurzen: Paradox and Passion in Psychotherapy, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Paradox and Passion in Psychotherapy, second edition, is a fully updated edition of a classic guide to existential psychotherapy by a leading practitioner in the field. The first edition was widely praised for the author's directness and honesty in examining the therapeutic process, and the Second Edition continues that tradition by considering the personal and subjective dimensions of psychotherapy in a fresh and bold manner. The author weaves together concepts of existential psychotherapy with case studies and her own experiential observations in a seamless narrative, covering a wide range of issues including loneliness, survival, self-understanding, love, and passion. Throughout, the book provides practical and commonsense approaches to tackling sensitive issues in the therapeutic relationship with an emphasis on transparency and authenticity for both the client and therapist.
