The book "Existential Counseling and Psychotherapy in Practice" is a comprehensive description of a decade of experience by a depth psychologist working with children and adolescents. The book uses a Jungian approach that allows the psychotherapist to provide a "safe...
space" for healing and offers appropriate specific materials and tools for this purpose. In this context, healing is achieved both through the psychotherapist himself and through actions, images, and fantasies that lead to emotional realization and personal growth. Paints, pencils, colored chalks, toys, and clay serve as equally important means of expression, movement, and development as acts of creativity, imagination, play, and drama. These forms of activity allow the child to move from experiencing initial loss, suffering, and despair to restoring self-control and good mood.
It is important to emphasize that this book is an indispensable practical guide for university centers, medical and educational institutions, children's clinics and dispensaries, and centers of social and psychotherapeutic work with children and adolescents, enabling parents, teachers, social workers, psychologists, and psychotherapists to better understand not only the real child but also the "child" that lives in the soul of every adult.
