Martin Heidegger's Impact on Psychotherapy is the first
comprehensive presentation in English of the background, theory and
practice of Daseinsanalysis, the analysis of human existence. It is
the work of the co-founding member of a radical re-envisioning of
psychoanalysis initiated by the work of the Swiss psychiatrist,
Medard Boss (1903-1990). Originally published in 1998, this new
edition of Gion Condrau's (1919-2006) book acquaints new
generations of psychotherapists, psychiatrists and psychoanalysts
with an alternative to psychodynamic, humanistic and existential
forms of the therapy of the word that is currently experience a
renaissance of interest, especially in the United States and the
UK. The volume presents the basic ideas of Martin Heidegger
(1889-1976) that made possible this unique approach to
psychotherapy. It is arranged in sections on (1) the foundations of
Daseinsanalysis in Heidegger's thought, (2) understanding
psychopathology, (3) daseinsanalytic psychotherapy in practice, (4)
working with the dying person, and (5) the preparation of the
professional Daseinsanalyst. Several extended cases are presented
to illustrate daseinsanalytic practice at work (narcissistic
personality disorder and obsessive compulsive personality
disorder). Since dreaming and dream life are central to
Daseinsanalysis, a number of dreams are analyzed from its
perspective. Daseinsanalysis originated as a form of psychoanalysis
and retains a number of its features: free association, optional
use of the couch, and attention to dreams. It differs from
psychoanalysis by abandoning the natural science perspective which
understands human experience and behavior in terms of causality.
Instead, human existence is seen to be utterly different from every
other kind of sentient animal life. Taking a phenomenological
perspective, Daseinsanalysis is based on letting the existence of
the human being in all his or her uniqueness show itself. In
practice, Daseinsanalysis avoids intervening in the life of the
person in favor of maximizing the conditions in which existence can
come into its own with maximum freedom.
