Ellis Amdur's Blog: Edgework - On the Books of Ellis Amdur - Posts Tagged "psychotherapy"

I have just published a new book, quite unlike anything I've published before. It is short, little more than 100 pages. One-half is a lyrical exposition of how some aspects of phenomenology and dialogal philosophy are at the core of psychotherapy. The final chapters bring this home - two heart-wrenching accounts of therapeutic encounters: one, a man suffering such severe melancholy that 'improvement' was meaningless to him; the second, a man haunting by delusions urging him to violence against his own family.
