Author(s) : Mick Cooper

Reviews and Endorsements

‘A very clear introduction to existential counselling by one of Britain’s leading counselling academics. It will whet your appetite and leave you wanting more, which is exactly the point of a primer. Mick Cooper writes clearly, sensitively and engagingly. A gem of a book!’ - Windy Dryden, Emeritus Professor of Psychotherapeutic Studies, Goldsmith’s, University of London.

‘An insightful and wholly accessible introduction to the key concepts and theories in existential therapy and its philosophical foundations. The use of case examples and descriptions of the different methods used by existential practitioners demonstrates how the theory can be applied in practice. Mick Cooper artfully translates complex ideas so they feel real for those new to the approach, while respecting the sophistication and variance in the way these therapies are understood. Existential issues are ever present in the therapy room and this is a key text for any therapist wishing to be able to respond to questions around how to live with purpose and accept the inevitability of dying. A must-read for students and practitioners alike.’ - Kate Smith PhD, Head of Division of Health Sciences, Abertay University.
