EXISTENTIAL DIALOGUES

One-to-one dialogues between Prof Ernesto Spinelli and ten representatives of the existential approach from different parts of the world

“Existential therapy is a wide-ranging arena, with many perspectives and different views that also, fundamentally, share an attitude expressing a way of thinking and being with people. Representatives of the existential approach from different parts of the world have agreed to engage in an open-format discussion with me. Each of them will bring their own particular topic of interest as the focus of the discussion. From this, participants will hopefully see that existential therapy and existential thought in general cover a huge range of topics, viewpoints and perspectives and explores these in a way that is different, stimulating and enjoyable.” Prof Ernesto Spinelli
