Existential Analysis & Logotherapy Training Program Info Session

Many recent graduates of counselling/psychotherapy training programs in North America note that they often do not feel well grounded in any particular orientation or approach. Part of the reason for this is surely that most Masters, PhD, and other training programs have adopted a generalist approach to teaching counselling/psychotherapy. This training program in Existential Analysis is designed to help counsellors/psychotherapists deepen their understanding of themselves as persons and the process of therapy through a well-rounded and in-depth curriculum in Existential Analysis.

Existential Analysis can be defined as a phenomenological and person-oriented psychotherapy, with the aim of leading the person to (mentally and emotionally) free experiences, to facilitate authentic decisions and to bring about a truly responsible way of dealing with life and the world. Thus, Existential Analysis can be applied in cases of psychosocial, psychosomatic and psychological caused disorder in experience and behaviour. The psychotherapeutic process takes place via phenomenological analysis of the emotions as the centre of experiences. Biographical work and empathic listening by the therapist contribute to an improvement in emotional understanding and accessibility.
