ABSTRACT

This chapter explains about existential psychotherapists, such as Binswanger, Boss, Frankl, van Deurzen, Spinelli, and more about revisiting some implications for existential/phenomenological therapy stemming from those such as Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger, Merleau-Ponty and Levinas in the light of postmodernism. Post-existentialism is for those who privilege such notions as ‘meaning and experience in ways of becoming in the world with others that can be astonishing and changing’. The inherent ego-centric narcissism of existentialism is criticised through postmodernism, with the hope of freeing up both existentialism and ourselves. This is regarded as a vitally important opportunity before we are submerged in neoliberalism’s hypermodernity.
