This comprehensive volume aligns the foundations of existential–humanistic therapy with the standards evidence-based practice in psychology.
This comprehensive volume aligns existential–humanistic therapy (EHT) with three pillars of evidence-based practice in psychology (EBPP): research evidence, clinical experience, and client characteristics.

The editors have gathered a set of expert psychologists to compile multiple lines of evidence to demonstrate how existential and humanistic approaches to therapy can just be just as effective if not more so in some contexts, as other evidence-based approaches. They also highlight important multicultural considerations, as well as highlight gaps that can be filled by future research.

Chapters detail the key foundations and principles of EHT, including therapeutic presence, empathy, authenticity, therapist self-disclosure, here-and-now work, and the self within the therapeutic context. Integrative strategies including mindfulness, art therapy, experiential therapy, and equine-assisted therapy are also reviewed to demonstrate the effectiveness of specific EHT modalities that combine these foundational elements.

Louis Hoffman, PhD, is a licensed psychologist in private practice and executive director of the Rocky Mountain Humanistic Counseling and Psychological Association. He has published over 20 books and 100 journal articles and book chapters. His books include the APA Handbook of Humanistic and Existential Psychology, Eros & Psyche: Existential Perspectives on Sexuality, Existential Psychology East-West, and Becoming an Existential-Humanistic Therapist. He has been recognized as a fellow of the American Psychological Association and six of its divisions (1, 10, 32, 36, 48, and 52) and received the Rollo May Award of the Society for Humanistic Psychology.   Veronica Lac, PhD, is founder and executive director of The HERD Institute, offering training and certification in equine facilitated psychotherapy and learning. She works through a decolonized lens with marginalized, neurodivergent clients with eating disorders and relational trauma. She is also a PATH International certified therapeutic riding instructor and a certified equine specialist in mental health and learning.
