This book takes Edmund Husserl's phenomenology and applies it to
help psychotherapy practitioners formulate complex psychological
problems. The reader will learn about Husserl's system of
understanding and its concepts that can point to first-person lived
experience, and about the work of Husserl scholars who have
developed a way to be precise about the experiences that clients
have. Through exploring the connection between academic philosophy
of consciousness and mental health, themes of biopsychosocial
treatment planning, psychopathology of personality and
psychological disorders, and the treatment of complex psychological
problems all emerge. The author shows that Husserlian phenomenology
can be used in the design of interventions for each client in a
process called formulation. Once the intentionality of
consciousness of an individual is understood, by asking simple
questions, it becomes possible to define problematic experiences.
This is a means of creating informed consent for treatment and it
also makes it clear to clients what is happening for them, so
helping them understand themselves and how they see the world. We
also see how Husserl's phenomenology is a vehicle for
psychotherapists to present their knowledge about the research
literature of what has been found to be effective care. This volume
applies the concepts and practices of phenomenology in a concrete
way, relating them to the practice of therapy and showing the value
of a qualitative approach to understanding mental processes and the
nature of human beings as motivated by values, meanings and other
conscious experiences. This is a readable text in simple language
that condenses key aspects of Husserl's thinking in relation to the
theory and practice of psychotherapy, and it is suitable for
philosophers and practitioners of psychology, psychiatry, and the
psychotherapies, including psychoanalysis.
