Short-term Existential Intervention in Clinical Practice

Résumé du livre

"Short-Term Existential Intervention in Clinical Practice presents an existential approach to clinical intervention with clients experiencing a variety of emotional problems stemming from biological, psychological, social, and meaning and purpose issues. The book also focuses on the realities of short-term intervention and the effects limited contact between clients and treatment providers has on successful intervention. The authors first relate theoretical material to the nature and experience of crisis including short-term intervention, environmental modification strategies, the principles of existential intervention, and cross-cultural concerns in existential practice. They then apply the existential intervention approach to various client populations, focusing on the existential strategies of holding, telling, mastering, and honoring."--Publisher's website.
