The Integrity Model of Existential Psychotherapy in Working with the 'Difficult Patient'

Author(s) : Nedra R. Lander, Author(s) : Danielle Nahon

Reviews and Endorsements

The integrity model is based on an existential approach to living and views psychological difficulties as stemming from a lack of fidelity to one's values. In this book, the authors explore how this approach to psychotherapy can enhance other therapeutic models or stand on its own to offer a valuable alternative perspective on the causes of mental illness. " Therapeutic Impasses and Encounters" provides a provocative and insightful presentation of the subject of impasses in psychotherapy, as well as dealing with associated issues including the role of values in psychotherapy, therapist responsibility, community and spirituality. It will be of great interest to counsellors and psychotherapists.
