Understanding Experience - Psychotherapy and Postmodernism

This book is an invitation to psychotherapists to rethink human agency. It draws on existential-phenomenological thinkers and defends notions such as individuality, autonomy, authenticity, freedom and agency that are questioned by postmodernism. Thinkers covered include Sartre, Buber, Binswanger, Lacan, Fromm and Laing. The interdisciplinary treatment will appeal not only to psychology professionals but also to those with an interest in philosophy and literature.
