existential therapy

Welcome Charlie and Sandra. Nice to see these new papers Charlie! Thanks.

I hope you will all start adding papers and references to the group list so we can all collaborate and use these ref lists! Good luck.

Hi everyone. I've only recently joined and am not sure about the group etiquette, so please excuse me if this question is out of place.

I'm a PsyD student who just finished a course in humanistic and existential theories and practice. The previous semester I struggled with the object-relations folks; this semester I ate up the existential stuff and felt a lot of resonance with the humanists as well.

My question is about practice rather than theory. In our class we heard mostly that an existential outlook informs the therapist and thus the therapy, but it doesn't come with much in the way of technique. How does that fit with peoples' impression who are in this group? Are there existential techniques, and if so, where should I begin to study them?

Hi to everyone who has joined the group. I hope you are beginning to get the hang of Mendeley and have noticed that you can build up your own reference library, which you can then use for essays and dissertations. You will see the facility of automatically processing references into the required style as well. NSPC uses Harvard, but sometimes when you submit a paper for publication you will be asked to change it to APA or something else, so it is very handy to get into the habit of recording all your references in your own library. This group is a place for posting good existential references, so you can share them with each other and insert them into your own library from here. Don't forget you can use the group for research discussions as well. I look forward to these!

Do feel free to add more papers to the group!

Welcome to new members of the group! Check out the references and papers already available and follow up the links to find some more. Please do add new ones to the group so we continue to build up a great resource library for existential therapy.

Looking forward to sharing best practice...

Hoping to create an active existential therapy group on Mendeley to share research papers.
