Philotherapy: An Integration of Psychotherapy introduces the perspective of philosophical counseling as a methodologically over-arching discipline for all psychotherapy. Aleksandar Fatić discusses its specific interventions—and above all its focus on modal logic as opposed to the customary psychotherapeutic focus on syllogistic, Aristotelian logic—to demonstrate its integrative methodology and capacity to serve as a disciplinary home for all psychotherapy. The book addresses the key generic psychotherapeutic problems that often present in therapy from a philotherapeutic perspective, including trauma, attachment issues, and fear. It also connects a philosophical understanding of mental disorders with specific psychoanalytic receptions of psychosis and neurosis that have become firmly entrenched in modern psychiatry and psychotherapy.
