Heidegger and the Roots of Existential Therapy

Hans W. Cohn explores the role of Heidegger's thought in providing an alternative basis for psychotherapeutic practice to the dominant psychodynamic, humanistic and cognitive approaches. Cohn also focuses strongly on the practical therapeutic relevance of Heidegger's ideas. This book will be essential reading for students and teachers of modern philosphy, as well as existential psychotherapists and all practitioners interested in existential approaches to therapy.
