ABSTRACT
Existential-integrative psychotherapy is one form of the being orientation. By existential-integrative psychotherapy, I mean a ground or context out of which other therapeutic standpoints arise. I also mean immediacy, kinesthesia, and aectivity as they inform living experience. e basis for existential-integrative psychotherapy is phenomenology — a richly descriptive, qualitative method for investigating human experience. Although phenomenology was formalized by Edmund Husserl at the beginning of the 20th century, it has a profound literary and artistic heritage.
