Existential–Humanistic Therapy Kirk J. Schneider and Orah T. Krug Existential–Humanistic Therapy by Kirk Schneider and Orah Krug provides an indepth survey of contemporary existential–humanistic (E-H) theory, practice, and research. In particular, this uniquely American version of existential therapy, currently experiencing a renaissance, highlights E-H therapy’s historical development, theoretical underpinnings, and practical applications alongside the very latest in process and outcome research. The book features the most recent theoretical and practical applications of E-H therapy to a broad diversity of ethnic and diagnostic populations. Among the theorists Existential-Humanistic Therapy highlights are Rollo May, Irvin Yalom, James Bugental, Kirk Schneider, and Orah Krug, an emerging female voice within the E-H movement. Each theoretical discussion is richly illustrated by case vignettes, drawn from the authors’ practices. The book also accents an integrative E-H approach. This approach is augmented by numerous case vignettes that articulate, step-by-step, the processes by which mainstream therapeutic approaches can be interwoven within an overarching E-H context. The book also highlights recent transpersonal and spiritual expansions of EH practice. List: $24.95 ISBN 978-1-4338-0462-5 Finally, the book features a discussion of the political and economic challenges that beset E-H therapy, and proposes alternatives to address them. To sum, ExistentialHumanistic Therapy provides a rich, comprehensive, and practical overview of the very latest in E-H theory, practice, and research. It also exemplifies leading therapy researcher Bruce Wampold’s suggestion that “an understanding of the principles of existential therapy is needed by all therapists, as it adds a perspective that might…form the basis for all effective treatments” (Wampold cited in PsycCritiques, February 6, 2008, p.6). 2010. 176 pages.
