Philosophy and Identity: The Relationship Between Choice of Existential Orientation and Therapists’ Sense of Self

Victoria Smith, Dawn Leeming, Vivien Burr

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

This paper reports one theme – Expression of Identity – which emerged from a larger qualitative study. It suggests that existential philosophy offers an insight into the human condition which therapists incorporate into their world view and that choosing to be an existential therapist is a choice involving passion and commitment.
