Time-Limited Existential Therapy
Wiley-Blackwell (Verlag)
978-1-118-71371-6 (ISBN)
Following the innovative first edition which she co-authored with her late father, Freddie Strasser, in the newly revised Second Edition of Time-Limited Existential Therapy: The Wheel of Existence, distinguished therapist Alison Strasser delivers an insightful aid to integrating and working with existential givens as they arise within a therapeutic encounter. She locates the concept of Time as central to all therapies, regardless of their theoretical modality, and demonstrates how it can be used in brief, short-term, and open-ended therapies.
The book relies on the concept of The Wheel to provide a framework for understanding existential and phenomenological philosophies and to help readers put them into practice with clients. It includes meaningful case vignettes that bring existential themes to life and is accessible to both therapists and interested lay members of the public.
Finally, the author highlights how our experience with COVID-19 has impacted, and been impacted by, the existential themes we all deal with on a regular basis.
A thorough overview of a commonsense existential approach and a discussion of the mystery of time
Practical discussions of the limitations and possibilities of time-limited existential therapies, as well as concepts and methods in the area.
Comprehensive explorations of the tyranny of high morality, and examinations of the body, the "givents" and "connectedness".
Time-Limited Existential Therapy: The Wheel of Existence is an indispensable resource for experienced psychotherapists, counsellors, social workers, coaches, and psychologists, as well as trainees in these fields seeking a common-sense approach to existential ideas in the context of therapy.
Alison Strasser is Director of the Centre for Existential Practice in Sydney, Australia. She is also a Therapist and Therapist Supervisor in private practice, as well as an educator with a passion for imparting existential themes and integrating them into other therapeutic approaches.
