This comprehensive guide is a valuable resource for mental health professionals seeking to incorporate existential principles into their social work and clinical practice. At the core of any helping profession lies the exploration of profound existential questions related to life situations, such as anxiety, suffering, choice, authenticity, and more. The book's primary objective is to challenge students and practitioners to adopt a philosophical and experiential approach to their clinical work. Written in a clear and accessible style, Eisikovits and Buchbinder effectively bridge the gap between existential-philosophical concepts and the practical concerns of therapy. Each chapter delves into a concept from the existential philosophical tradition, such as anxiety, meaning-making, time, and space, and demonstrates its practical application through real-life clinical examples and interventions.
The book showcases how these concepts can be effectively integrated into social work practice, emphasizing values such as client participation, self-determination, and free will. It serves as an essential text for courses and advanced training in existential social work and therapy, catering to training social workers, counselors, therapists, and other helping professionals who are interested in exploring the realm of existentialism. By embracing the principles outlined in this book, mental health professionals can enhance their understanding of clients' experiences, provide more holistic and compassionate care, and contribute to the well-being of individuals and communities.
