SPINELLI, Ernesto. Existential psychotherapy: An introductory overview. []. , 24, 3, pp.311-321. ISSN 0870-8231.
This paper provides an introductory overview of the key ideas that underpin existential psychotherapy from the primary focus of inter-relation. Further, it introduces various applications regarding the investigation of the inter-relational variables that accentuate the clients experience of being-in-the world and considers these in relation to the analysis of the clients presenting problems and issues. Finally, the paper argues that in the existential psychotherapeutic relationship the therapist can be likened to a particular and unique "other" in the clients world relations.
