Mick Cooper brings his passion for existentialism, pluralism, and the core principles underlying them to this superb book and companion website. For those of us committed to fostering authentic relationships, meaning, freedom, and potentiality, this is THE contemporary evidence-based guide!
(John C. Norcross, PhD.)Mick Cooper's Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling: Contributions to a Pluralistic Practice serves as a worthy companion to his earlier, already classic, text Existential Therapies. Always highly accessible without resorting to superficiality or over-generalisation, the book engages, challenges, illuminates and, at times, infuriates. By so doing, it serves as an impressive example of how a pluralistic perspective can elicit novel and trenchant understanding to the ideas and practices of existential therapy so that they can be better compared to and contrasted with other contemporary approaches. Cooper's continuing affection for and curiosity about existential phenomenology weaves itself throughout the text as whole bringing to it a stamp of authority, as well as a healthy sense of humour and scepticism, that is sure to enlighten readers as well as attract new afficionados.
(Professor Ernesto Spinelli)Mick Cooper’s pluralistic practice is embedded in existential principles. In this book he demonstrates deftly that philosophical clarity enhances therapeutic work, no matter what your previous background or experience. He has laid down some well-placed stepping stones to ease the hazardous journey through the turmoil of human existence.
(Professor Emmy van Deurzen)He brings a wealth of therapeutic and life experience to the book and manages to illuminate some complex practical points with impressive clarity.
The strength of pluralistic practice is that it is research rather than theory based; that it starts from experience and that it is about questioning experience and understanding the human being in all their different contexts. Existentialism, which is based on the research method of phenomenology works in the same way and it is this that makes the book work so well. Indeed it could be said that that the basis of all pluralist practice is existentialism.
It provides clear guidance for practitioners of all perspectives on how they can integrate existential insights into their practice if they are not already doing it – which they probably are without knowing it. In this way practitioners from any perspective can become existentially informed and thus work more effectively but also more ethically.
It is as easy to read as it is full of insights, some obvious but not realised and some more challenging. I recommend it to people new to the field as well as those who think they already know it – I guarantee they will be surprised.
(Martin Adams)This book introduces a timely discussion on what it means to be an existential therapist. Based on his extensive research Professor Cooper offers new ideas about the relational core of psychotherapy and initiates debate about how an existential perspective might embrace or enhance different therapeutic orientations.
(Professor John Nuttall)
This book is for trainees and practitioners across the orientations who wish to incorporate an existential approach into their practice. Using a pluralistic perspective that recognises the diversity of clients and their individual needs, it shows trainees how and when existential concepts and practices can be used alongside other approaches.
A wealth of resources and the author’s writing style make this is one of the most accessible and inspiring introductions to existential therapy. Videos of existential counselling in practice and written case studies ensure existential theory is illustrated in practice, while reflective questions and exercises help trainees relate notoriously complex existential themes to their own knowledge and experience. A companion website offers relevant journal articles, video tutorials on existential counselling skills, the results of the author’s survey of the ‘Top 10’ existential films, novels and songs, and much more.
This passionate and insightful book is the ideal guide to help your trainees understand existential therapy and learn how to integrate its ideas and practices into their therapeutic work.
Mick Cooper is Professor of Counselling Psychology at University of Roehampton.
