| Summary: | "The first edition of this book, Existential Time Limited Therapy: The Wheel of Existence (Strasser & Strasser, 1997), co-authored by my father, Freddie Strasser, and me, paved a pathway to describing how existential therapy offers an effective approach to brief therapy where 'it was the certainty of the ending that was identified as the most influential distinguishing factor' (Lamont, 2012, p. 172). We proposed that time itself is the 'tool' that facilitates awareness and the potential for change. One of the original aims of the first edition was to convey existential philosophy as a vehicle for common sense. Neither my father nor I saw ourselves as experts in existential philosophy; however, we were both stimulated by how the integration of existential and phenomenological philosophies added alternative perspectives and ways of understanding people that related to their concrete living in the world rather than being limited to a psychological perspective. As is probably true for most existential practitioners, we saw ourselves as existential-oriented therapists, signifying that we are informed by numerous ideas and approaches that build on our own personal experiences"-- |
