Download or read book Existential Psychology and Sport written by Mark Nesti and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2004-03-01 with total page 174 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing numbers of professional teams and athletes look for assistance with the psychological factors of their performance, and there exists a growing body of professional sport psychologists ready to provide support. Despite this, it seems at times there remains a significant gap between the real needs of sport performers and what is delivered by traditional sport psychology. The existential approach described by Mark Nesti offers a radical alternative to the cognitive and cognitive-behavioural approaches that have dominated sport psychology, and represents the first systematic attempt to apply existential psychological theory and phenomenological method to sport psychology. This much-needed alternative framework for the discipline of applied sport psychology connects to many of the real and most significant challenges faced by sports performers during their careers and beyond. Existential Psychology and Sport outlines an approach that can be used to add something of depth, substance and academic rigour to sport psychology in applied settings beyond the confines of MST and good listening skills.

Download or read book Existential Psychotherapy written by Irvin D. Yalom and published by Hachette UK. This book was released on 2020-03-17 with total page 687 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive account of existential psychotherapy. First published in 1980, Existential Psychotherapy is widely considered to be the foundational text in its field— the first to offer a methodology for helping patients to develop more adaptive responses to life’s core existential dilemmas. In this seminal work, American psychiatrist Irvin Yalom finds the essence of existential psychotherapy and gives it a coherent structure, synthesizing its historical background, core tenets, and usefulness to the practice. Organized around what Yalom identifies as the four "ultimate concerns of life"—death, freedom, isolation, and meaninglessness—the book takes up the meaning of each existential concern and the type of conflict that springs from our confrontation with each. He shows how these concerns are manifest in personality and psychopathology, and how treatment can be helped by our knowledge of them. Drawing from clinical experience, empirical research, philosophy, and great literature, Yalom provides an intellectual home base for those psychotherapists who have sensed the incompatibility of orthodox theories with their own clinical experience, and opens new doors for empirical research. The fundamental concerns of therapy and the central issues of human existence are woven together here as never before, with intellectual and clinical results that have surprised and enlightened generations of readers.

Download or read book Post existentialism and the Psychological Therapies written by Del Loewenthal and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2011 with total page 207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Loewenthal offers a place where we might still be able to think about how alienated we are through valuing existential notions such as experience and meaning, while questioning other aspects such as existentialism's inferred narcissism and the place it has come to take up with regards to such aspects as psychoanalysis and the political. The book is therefore not only for trainee psychological therapists but for person-centered, existential, psychoanalytic and behaviorally trained psychological therapists who wish to reconsider their approach as having possible implications, rather than an application, that they may subsequently consider in meaning and relational terms. This text can also be seen as an introduction to post-phenomenology?following phenomenology through existentialism, psychoanalysis and post-modernism. The book, therefore, can be used not only as part of a therapeutic training but also for those therapists who wish to re-evaluate their training so that they can reconsider it in a way that may be radically different from how they came to acquire it, while not dismissing much of what they have learned

Book excerpt: In 1958 in their book Existence, Rollo May, Henri Ellenberger and Ernst Angel introduced existential therapy to the English-speaking psychotherapy world. Since then the field of existential therapy has moved along rapidly and this book considers how it has developed over the past fifty years, and the implications that this has for the future. In their 50th anniversary of this classic book, Laura Barnett and Greg Madison bring together many of today's foremost existential therapists from both sides of the Atlantic, together with some newer voices, to highlight issues surrounding existential therapy today, and look constructively to the future whilst acknowledging the debt to the past. Dialogue is at the heart of the book, the dialogue between existential thought and therapeutic practice, and between the past and the future. Existential Therapy: Legacy, Vibrancy and Dialogue, focuses on dialogue between key figures in the field to cover topics including: historical and conceptual foundations of existential therapy perspectives on contemporary Daseinanalysis the search for meaning in existential therapy existential therapy in contemporary society. Existential Therapy: Legacy, Vibrancy and Dialogue explores how existential therapy has changed in the last five decades, and compares and contrasts different schools of existential therapy, making it essential reading for experienced therapists as well as for anyone training in psychotherapy, counselling, psychology or psychiatry who wants to incorporate existential therapy into their practice.
