5.0 out of 5 stars excellent collection on existential therapy, February 14, 2009

By	Javier Armenta Mejia (Tijuana, Baja California Mexico) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Existential Perspectives on Human Issues: A Handbook for Therapeutic Practice (Hardcover)

This is a wonderful collection of papers on existential therapy.
It covers a wide range of topics, from procreation, language, emotions, the family, groups, the self, to death, interpretation, the phenomenological method and other important issues.
It is a very accesible book, but at the same time, a very academic and well written book.
I recomend it with all my heart

Javier Armenta
