"Leading existential–humanistic psychologists Kirk J. Schneider and Orah T. Krug provide a comprehensive and practical overview of this therapeutic modality. With important advancements from previous editions, the authors engage the existential unconscious, cultural perspectives, and research foundations as well as the core aspects of existential–humanistic (EH) therapy, including presence, meaning, freedom/choice, and responsibility. Covering both the uniqueness of EH therapy and its foundations for an integrative approach, this book is essential reading for anyone interested in the existential and interpersonal dimensions of psychotherapy." - Louis Hoffman, PhD, author of Case Formulation in Existential–Humanistic Therapy; Executive Director, Rocky Mountain Humanistic Counseling and Psychological Association, Colorado Springs, CO, United States
