Existential therapy and ACT

[Guest guest]

hi i thought i share this.

i came across this case study about applying existential philosophy (which i

have been reading alot about recently) as therapy based and combining it w ACT

in a case study to a schizoprenic patient.

I thought it was pretty cool how philosophy could be applied to a patients

" givens " in his world, how he was made to face his own reality, and how ACT

offered the needed metaphors in applying and looking for resolutions out of his

own dilemmas.

I don't think the case study is that much different from my own mine, a search

for meaning, in a seemingly indifferent world, a search for something which has

no resolution or answer.
