Full Description
The second in a two-part set, this volume offers a detailed examination of the application of existential psychology.
This book begins by looking at the "conditio humana" - the most important topics of existential psychology, including anxiety, freedom, choices, authenticity, suffering and meaning, creativity, togetherness, time and death. It then moves through the practical application of existential psychology in the context of dreams, research, pathology and therapy. Examining key theories, models and research, the volume offers a fascinating overview of how the disciplines of art, philosophy, literature, science and theology contribute to a deeper understanding of personal self-knowledge and a person's sense of purpose. This unique transdisciplinary approach demonstrates how readers can apply philosophical, historical and artistic aspects of existential psychology to their lives. The book concludes by considering the role of existential psychology in the present.
Going beyond the questions of therapy and counselling that typically make up the study of existential psychology, the book offers the ultimate introduction for students and scholars of this fascinating and deeply rooted discipline. It may also interest professionals working in related fields.
