Existential Psychotherapy

Structure and Organization

Irvin Yalom's «Existential Psychotherapy» is structured into four main parts, each dedicated to one of the key existential questions. The first part addresses the issue of death and how awareness of mortality influences human behavior and psyche. The second part focuses on freedom and responsibility, exploring how individuals cope with the burden of freedom and choices. The third part centers on the issue of isolation, discussing various forms of isolation and ways to overcome it. The fourth part analyzes the problem of meaninglessness, examining how people seek and find meaning in life. Each section of the book includes theoretical discussions, clinical examples, and practical recommendations for therapists.
