About the Course

The author tries to aid therapists, of different orientations, who intend doing depth, life-changing work to extend the range and power of their own perspectives”. ‘Depth psychotherapy’, as the author explains, values subjective experience as primary for examining and changing the way we have answered the ‘big’ questions of life, the existential questions of life. Questions such as how do I live? Who am I? What do I want from my life? The book is wise, imaginative and practical. Copious clinical examples of patient and therapist dialogue aid this communication. There’s even an appendix with suggestions and exerises to develop the principles within the book.

This course is based on the book, The Art of the Psychotherapist: How to Develop the Skills That Take Psychotherapy Beyond Science created by Bugental, James, Ph.D.
