- Summary:
- Breathing much-needed fresh air into the discipline, this book engagingly considers a number of crucial treatment areas that psychotherapists frequently have trouble addressing squarely. Part one looks at major life issues -- self-confidence, intimacy, power, death, and change -- and challenges the dominant treatment philosophies employed by therapists in response to these issues. Part two adds to the critique by offering alternatives to these standard treatments in the form of innovative, existential approaches to helping people deal with these dilemmas.
