As this was a short course, only one book was recommended.
An accessible introduction to the existentialist perspective from a leading authority on the subject.
A must have for those working with clients from an existential perspective, but also for Counsellors generally. It explores some fundamental questions about the aims of Counselling, and potentially Counsellors desires for their clients, be they trainees or qualified.
Very well written and useful text for our course
Van Deurzen show a passion for the subject of life and while steeped in an existentialist tradition - draws widely from a number of fields to bring to light the focus of the book - Happiness and its place in our existence and how we might approach this as therapists. A great read.
