Description
Daseinsanalysis: A Critical Overview of Existential Therapies This book provides a comprehensive examination of daseinsanalytic concepts and their key differences. Alice Holzhey-Kunz offers a systematic account of a new approach to mental suffering, drawing on the ideas of Kierkegaard, Heidegger, and Sartre. Holzhey-Kunz explains how this approach differs from traditional psychoanalytic theory, while still acknowledging Freud's fundamental insight into the hidden meaning of neurotic symptoms. She argues that mental suffering is fundamentally rooted in our own existence, rather than external factors. By exploring the therapeutic implications of daseinsanalysis, Holzhey-Kunz demonstrates how three key principles can be used to understand and engage with existential experiences. This book offers a valuable contribution to the field of psychotherapy and existential therapies.
