Shields Book Reviews 159 EDITORIAL Existential Analysis is celebrating 25 years of publication. Our silver anniversary edition opens with a brief commemoration by Emmy van Deurzen, followed by Becoming an Existential Therapist, the transcript of her contribution to the BBC radio 3 series ‘Existential Me’. The issue continues with the second part of Ernesto Spinelli’s paper on Being Sexual, and it is followed by Victor Rodrigues’ response to Spinelli’s part one, Are Sexual Preferences Existential Choices? (part one appeared in the July 2013 edition of this journal). We would like to invite further contributions to this discussion on existential understandings of sexuality and will endeavour to publish them in the 26th edition (25.2 will include a number of papers from the recent Society of Existential Analysis conference, which focused on the themes of Love and Hate). We also feature a number of papers on questions of ‘mental illness’ and issues related to psychopathology. The first of these, by Diego Vitali, describes an attempt to work phenomenologically in a psychiatric institution. Next we offer Richard’s critique of Szasz’s seminal text The Myth of Mental Illness. We are honoured to be able to publish Aaron Esterson’s paper The Affirmation of Experience, written in 1985 but never presented or published until now, and acknowledge our indebtedness to Anthony Stadlen for preparing this paper and for his brief commentary, Quintessential Phenomenology, which explains the circumstances surrounding the paper’s fate. The issue concludes with the theme of psychopathology taken up again by Ekaterina Denyskova in Madness as an Escape, and Shield’s Psychosis as a Mechanism for Coping with Existential Distress. We are also pleased to publish three diverse papers, Creative Inspiration and Existential Coaching by Sasha van Deurzen-Smith, George Berguno’s A Phenomenological Analysis of Existential Conscience in James Ivory’s The Remains of the Day, and Kirkegaardian Selves by Tamar Aylat-Yaguri, all thought-provoking contributions to stimulate and inspire. Responses are always encouraged. As usual we include a number of enlightening book reviews; our thanks to Martin Adams who can be contacted if you are interested in reviewing any titles on the current book list. Simon du Plock Greg Madison 3 COMMEMORATING 25 YEARS OF EXISTENTIAL ANALYSIS It is the 25th anniversary of the publication of the Journal of the Society for Existential Analysis this year and this is an occasion well worth celebrating. Existential Analysis is a Journal of note in its specialist field and is known worldwide by those interested in reflecting on existential reality, especially but not exclusively so in relation to practicing the professions of psychotherapy and counselling. A quarter of a century of quality papers on philosophical therapy is something to be grateful for and not take for granted. Twenty-five years ago it wasn’t obvious that existential therapy would ever be considered a valid form of therapy. The creation of the Society for Existential Analysis as a platform for existential therapists has made a huge difference to the situation and to the credibility of our field. But SEA would not have had the gravitas it has without being supported by a good journal which demonstrates the thoughtfulness that goes into training and practicing as an existential therapist and thinking carefully about human existence. When we created the SEA in 1988 we were aware of the importance of supporting it with a journal. I am grateful to the first two editors of that first journal: Carole Van Artsdalen and Elena Lea Zanger, who produced that all important first volume in 1990 that carried the papers of our very first, 1988 conference. It might be nice to bring out that first journal in a new edition at some point as it was in some ways the defining statement on what the SEA was about and has long been out of print. But of course what has really made the Journal what it is today is a long and sustained sequence of twice yearly publications with papers of interest and sometimes full of controversy. The second team of editors (in 1991) were Ernesto Spinelli and Alessandra Lemma, followed in 1993 by Simon du Plock (who had contributed a paper to the previous volume) with Hans Cohn, followed in July 2000 by Simon du Plock and John Heaton, succeeded in July 2007 by Simon du Plock and Greg Madison. There have also been two very popular volumes of selected papers: Existential Challenges to Psychotherapeutic Theory and Practice, (edited by Simon du Plock and Hans Cohn) appeared in 1995; Further Existential Challenges to 4 Psychotherapeutic Theory and Practice, (edited by Simon du Plock) was published in 2002. Which brings me to a very necessary and long overdue expression of gratitude to all those who have been instrumental in making this Journal so good. But as will be evident, in particular to Simon du Plock who has laboured for many years now to keep the quality of the Journal improving and keep it regular, alive and vital. There are many people who make a Society what it is, but editors of journals are rarely seen and appreciated for the constant efforts they put in. Simon has edited no fewer than 22 Volumes of the Journal and on our 25th anniversary I would like to express my thanks to him in particular for a job extremely well done. May the Journal continue to flourish for the next quarter of a century to come and may it keep alive our interest in exploring existence with all the passion and clarity we can muster. Emmy van Deurzen, London, January 2014 5 Existential Analysis 25.1: January 2014 Becoming An Existential Therapist Emmy van Deurzen Abstract Original version of an essay written for the programme ‘Existential Me’, The Essay – BBC Radio 3 – short version read for BBC 3 on 15 November 2013 and published in the Hermeneutic Circular. Early decisions about religion I can trace the moment when I decided to commit myself to the search for truth. I was seven years old and had just realized that other children in my class were generally baptized and thus somehow branded and defined by belonging to a particular creed or church. As this took place in the Netherlands in the 1950s, my friends were mostly Protestant, Calvinist, Lutheran or Reformed.

  • 'We Are All Relational, but Are Some More Relational Than Others?'
    ‘We are all relational, but are some more relational than others?’ - completing the paradigm shift towards relationality by Michael Soth A Discussant Paper in response to: Ray Little: ‘The New Emerges out of the Old’ Building on Ray Little’s integration of humanistic TA with both traditional and relational psychoanalysis, this paper explores both shared ideas and assumptions as well as reflecting critically from the vantage point of a wider broad-spectrum integrative perspective, with an emphasis on TA’s sister tradition of Body Psychotherapy. The problems, inconsistencies and contradictions within the integrative project are discussed, with particular reference to our humanistic origins during the 1960’s and their – partially reactive - differentiation against psychoanalysis, which leaves us with unresolved legacies in the form of fixed assumptions regarding both theory and practice, and key concepts like ‘ego’ and ‘working alliance’. Taking the key notion of the therapist’s “equidistant position” between the “needed” and the “repeated” relationship as its starting point, this paper works towards ‘enactment’ as the central notion of relationality. In the process, a multiplicity of diverse therapeutic kinds of relatedness is affirmed as valid, and different notions of the ‘relational’ and inconsistencies and ambivalences in our integrative formulations are addressed. The aim is a more solid and robust integration which is grounded in a bodymind understanding of enactment as the paradoxical essence of therapeutic action. Introduction It would also need to imply a significantly wider range of approaches from across the therapeutic Ray Little has been doing an urgent, significant and spectrum coming to the ‘integrated’ party. sterling job, bringing together TA and Considering that psychotherapy integration has psychoanalysis (especially its relational branch).

  • Focusing Is a Way of Being-With Eugene Gendlin Is an Existential
    Focusing is a way of Being-with Eugene Gendlin is an existential philosopher who wants to point us back to our lived experience. He invites us to stand in our experience and then to ask from there, ‘What kind of world is this?’ ‘What is a human being if this kind of experience is possible?’ He wants to return the human being to a central place in our various ways of understanding life. Since the 1950s, Gendlin’s interests have lead him from the writings of Dilthey, Heidegger, Merleau- Ponty, etc. into collaboration with imminent psychotherapists and psychological researchers. Gendlin saw therapy as a unique place where the process of symbolising experience could be explored. According to Gendlin, A person struggles with and finds words and other expressions for unclear – but lived – experience…What was felt but undefined by the client was thought to be unmeasurable and incomprehensible and it made people uncomfortable to talk about such a variable… When it correlated with success in therapy while other variables did not, people began to try to understand it more seriously (personal communication, c.f. Friedman, 2000:47). This ability to stay with an unclear (but clearly felt) bodily experience constitutes a natural form of self-reflection called ‘Focusing1’. Gendlin and others found that they could help people re-gain and value this awareness of how we experience our life situations. Focusing is a way of paying attention to one’s being-in-the-world, one’s interaction as it is experienced through the individual (but not separate) body. A felt sense is a temporary wave from the sea of being - it is understood as on-going process, not ‘internal content’.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT It is almost exactly one hundred years since the popular and not merely academic dissemination of Buddhism in the West began. During this time a dialogue has grown up between Buddhism and the Western discipline of psychotherapy. It is the contention of this work that Buddhist philosophy and praxis have much to offer a contemporary psychotherapy. Firstly, in general, for its long history of the experiential exploration of mind and for the practices of cultivation based thereon, and secondly, more specifically, for the relevance and resonance of specific Buddhist doctrines to contemporary problematics. Thus, this work attempts, on the basis of a three-way conversation between Buddhism, psychotherapy and various themes from contemporary discourse, to suggest a psychotherapy that may be helpful and relevant to the current horizons of thought and contemporary psychopathologies which are substantially different from those prevalent at the time of psychotherapy's early years.

  • The Effect of Transactional Analysis Group Behavioral Therapy on Infertile Women’S Marital Satisfaction
    http://www.cjmb.org Open Access Original Article Crescent Journal of Medical and Biological Sciences Vol. 6, No. 3, July 2019, 375–380 eISSN 2148-9696 The Effect of Transactional Analysis Group Behavioral Therapy on Infertile Women’s Marital Satisfaction Atefeh Haghighi Cheli1 ID , Jamileh Mohtashami2* ID , Shahrzad Zadehmodares3, Zahra Arabborzu4 Abstract Objectives: Infertility causes psychological problems in infertile patients and exerts adverse effects on the marital life of couples. Therefore, the present study investigated the effects of transactional analysis (TA) group behavioral therapy on marital satisfaction of infertile women. Materials and Methods: This before/after controlled trial was conducted on 30 infertile women referring to in vitro fertilization ward of Mahdieh hospital of Tehran in 2018. Patients were randomly assigned to intervention and control groups. The intervention group underwent TA for 4 weeks while the control group only received the routine treatment. Data were gleaned from Four ENRICH Couples Scale and analyzed by the SPSS software version 22.0 using independent and paired t-tests. Results: The results of the paired t test showed a significant difference between the 2 groups after the intervention P( = 0.001) compared to before the intervention while no significant change was observed in the control group (P = 0.789). In addition, independent t-test indicated no significant change in the control group after the intervention P( = 0.000) compared to before intervention (P = 0.949). Conclusions: In general, training in TA group behavioral therapy significantly increased marital satisfaction in the intervention group compared to the control group. Accordingly, the TA can serve as a useful treatment for infertile women.

  • Lo Transpersonal E Integral En Psicoterapia John Rowan
    Transpersonal and Integral in Psychotherapy John Rowan Transpersonal and Integral in Psychotherapy Lo Transpersonal e Integral en Psicoterapia John Rowan* British Psychological Society London, UK Abstract This paper delineates the Ken Wilber (2006) model of approaches to the world, including therapy. He calls it the All Quadrants All Levels (AQAL) approach, which includes the whole world in its boundaries. This means that we can now do justice to the whole of the client and all the connections that may be relevant. What I have done is to spell out the relevance of all this for therapy, and to add two levels which Wilber does not include in the model, even though he has described them in detail elsewhere. The result is a fuller model which is even more relevant to therapists, and particularly to transpersonal therapists. Key Words Transpersonal, Wilber, Quadrants, Levels, Therapy Resumen Este artículo describe el modelo descriptivo del mundo descrito por Ken Wilber (2006), incluyendo la terapia. Él lo llama Modelo de los Cuadrantes “Omnicuadrante, Omninivel” (AQAL), el cual comprende al mundo entero y sus límites. Esto significa que ahora podemos atender integralmente a todos los estados y conexiones que pueden ser relevantes en la persona. Lo que en este artículo desarrollo es una descripción minuciosa de la importancia que todo esto tiene, para la terapia. Además he añadido dos niveles, los cuales Wilber no incluye en el modelo, aunque los ha descrito en detalle en otro lugar. La conclusión es el resultado de un modelo más completo y relevante para terapeutas, especialmente para terapeutas transpersonales.

Adult Migrants’ Second Language Learning and With the help of qualitative interviews and conversations, this AND Communicative Interaction book sheds light on how three perspectives interact and affect adult migrants’ learning milieu, attitudes to, and motivation for learning MIGR and using the Swedish language. These perspectives are a) the teaching A TION context, b) migrants’ living environment and life conditions, and c) S the sociocultural influences involved in communicative situations. TUDIES Adult migrants, especially at the beginning of their stay in Sweden, constantly hover between different social realities while organizing a 20 1 new life in an unknown country. Longing for home, having feelings of 4 displacement, and discovering and adjusting to the unwritten rules of INVISIBLE the migration country become a difficult challenge. In such a situation contact with people with a similar background and with the home country isolates the migrant from the Swedish language and Swedish V OICES society, at the same time as it is a survival mechanism. Similarly, a monocultural teaching approach that is isolated from learners’ social reality contributes to the feelings of alienation and ineptitude. As a result, there is a risk that the attitudes toward, and the motivation for, learning and using the Swedish language will not be prioritized and that adult migrants will continue to prefer to manage their lives without the Swedish language by relying on their access to other communities (i.e., their social capital).
