書籍簡介

存在主義治療是每一個心理治療師在其臨牀工作和個人生活中都可能會採用到的一種精神取向，或者説是生活哲學。心理治療的根本問題與人類存在的核心問題在這裏相遇。

在本書中，亞隆教授從臨牀經驗、實證性研究、哲學文獻以及其他大量資料出發，圍繞着四個“生命的終極關懷”——死亡、自由、存在的孤獨和無意義——逐一進行深入的探討，闡述每一個存在性關懷的意義，並論述治療師應該如何通過對他們的理解來進行有效的臨牀工作。

本書不僅為那些存在主義取向的心理治療師提供了一部經典的教科書，同時也為所有流派的治療師以及所有思考過人生意義的人提供了一個對生命和存在進行反思的空間。

Existential therapy has been practiced and continues to be practiced in many forms and situations throughout the world. But until now, it has lacked a coherent structure, and analysis of its tenets, and an evaluation of its usefulness. Irvin Yalom, whose Theory and Practice of Group Psychotherapy has rendered such a service to that discipline since 1970, provides existential psychotherapy with a background, a synthesis, and a framework. Organized around what Yalom identifies as the four ultimate concerns of lifedeath, freedom, existential isolation, and meaninglessnessthe book takes up the meaning of each existential concern and the type of conflict that springs from our confrontation with each. He shows how these concerns are manifested in personality and psychopathology, and how treatment can be helped by our knowledge of them. Drawing from clinical experience, empirical research, philosophy, and great literature, Yalom has written a broad and comprehensive book. It will provide an intellectual home base for those psychotherapists who have sensed the incompatability of orthodox theories with their own clinical experience, and it opens new doors for empirical research. The fundamental concerns of therapy and the central issues of human existence are woven together here as never before, with intellectual and clinical results that will surprise and enlighten all readers.
