This book is the first practical introduction to the skills-based existential approach. Without requiring the reader to have any particular philosophical knowledge, it describes specific and tangible skills, tasks, and interactions of existential practice. It describes:

- the theoretical background and history of existential psychotherapy
- the phenomenological practice
- the core of existential therapy
- essential characteristics of the existential psychotherapist
- qualities of "living well"
- the therapeutic process and the nature of change
- misconceptions about the existential approach

By creating a necessary source of theory and practice for those starting their education and for experienced psychotherapists who thirst to expand their knowledge, the authors of this book make the existential approach accessible to those who want to discover what it has to offer.
