It's a great expansive lesson on the ground principles of existential humanistic therapy! Certainly intricate and brimming with information that I most definitely have not all taken up despite reading it for awhile now! One of the books I'll have to come back to in due time to revise and pick up more of his teachings! Not just intriguing for everyone wanting to join the still to slim work of therapists, also thrilling for those trying to expand their experience in living!

Reading "The Search for Existential Identity" made me realise I was desperately limited in my outlook and scope.

This book has just compounded that, but at the same time showed me a way forward.

A shame that this man's work is not well known, there are hardly any reprints to buy of his work.

Having read this work, I feel that I have come closer to becoming a fuller person.

This feels like a create example into the existential-humanistic approach from a practical and theoretical level. Loved!
