Everyday Mysteries. Existential Dimensions of Psychotherapy

The final answer to the question of what existential psychotherapy is has not yet been found. Meanwhile, some - like Ernesto Spinelli - are convinced that we should talk about existential therapy, as the addition of "psycho-" distorts the meaning.... Others - like Mick Cooper - believe that this phrase should be used in the plural form, that is, "therapies," because such a diverse tapestry of practices cannot be neatly categorized under one comb.
The book offered to readers was written more than 20 years ago and became one of the first attempts to describe the approach, as well as an excellent textbook for many existential practitioners. The inspired presentation of the theoretical philosophical foundations is complemented not only by an overview of attempts at their practical application - from the historically first Binswanger and Boss to the still-living Yalom and Achenbach, but also by the author's own ideas about the goals, rules, and structure of the existential project. The book concludes with a detailed description of a case from practice.
