Description
Existential Group Counselling and Psychotherapy provides a comprehensive foundation for practice in existential group therapy. This guide offers a solid understanding of the 'why' and 'how' of therapeutic group-work from an existential perspective. The book explores the development of modern western sources, their enduring formats, and how they have influenced current paradigms. It also delves into the existential phenomenological paradigm for group therapeutic work, examining its effects, risks, and potential disappointments. The practical aspects of practice are covered in detail, including procedure and common problems. Written in an accessible style, incorporating clinical vignettes and anecdotal material, this book is relevant to counsellors and psychotherapists in training and practice, as well as special interest organisations that sponsor groups.
