(2016) Clarifying and furthering existential psychotherapy, Dordrecht, Springer.
We describe the planning of the first World Congress for Existential Therapy, and its impact on the growing field of existential therapy. Six hundred and fifty attenders came to London from over 56 countries world wide. The Congress saw the creation of a number of continental groups, and the decision was made to hold the next Congress in 2019 in Buenos Aires. It is difficult to measure the impact of a networking event, but discussions continue online about issues of concern to existential therapists, involving dialogue between many previously isolated schools within this broad approach which are likely to establish this theory and method as a more prominent contribution to the spectrum of psychotherapies in the future.
