Existential psychotherapy

"Existential Psychotherapy" is a large-scale and comprehensive book. Integrating clinical experience, empirical research, philosophical theories, and examples from world literature, it provides a foundation, synthesis, and framework for existential psychotherapy.

 “Once again, Ervin Yalom has written a volume of immense significance and timelessness. He crystallized the essence of existential psychotherapy. With numerous therapeutic illustrations and through a review of the literature, he has constructed a book on the conflicts arising from man's confrontation with fundamental problems such as: death, freedom, isolation and meaninglessness. This book should be required reading for every psychiatry and clinical psychology trainee. It belongs in every psychotherapist's library.”
H. Keith, H. Brody

"I believe this excellent book will become a classic for those who study existential psychotherapy and for all clinicians. However, it would be a mistake to limit it to only psychiatrists and psychologists – anyone interested in what makes people act in a certain way will find it helpful. The book is so readable that I couldn't put it down until I finished it.”

Erwin D. Yalom (b. 1931) is a prominent American psychiatrist, professor emeritus at Stanford University, and practicing psychoanalyst, considered one of the founders of group psychotherapy. His scientific books, as well as the extremely popular The Gift of Therapy, Closer Every Day, establish him as a leading figure in modern neuroscience. He was awarded the International Sigmund Freud Award and the Oscar Pfister Award for significant contributions to psychotherapy. Dr. Yalom's original method of connecting psychotherapy with fundamental existential problems and his most successful clinical experiments are also the basis of his works of fiction: "Mom and the Meaning of Life", "Hangman of Love", the world bestseller "When Nietzsche cry', 'Schopenhauer's Healing', 'Spinoza's Problem'. His books have been translated into 20 languages and have sold over 4 million copies.
