Schneider, Ph.D. On behalf of my late friend and mentor, Rollo May, I am delighted that this time-honored text is once again available to the English-speaking world. In the 16 years since this book was published, there have been important developments in the field of psychotherapy practice and research, and I am very heartened to report that The Psychology of Existence has been a key influence on those developments. There have been new books on existential practice for example (see Bugental,1999; Barnett & Madison, 2012; Cooper, 2003; Schneider, 2004, 2008, 2009; Schneider & Krug, 2010; and Yalom, 2002), a new video series sponsored by the American Psychological Association (APA)( see Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy Over Time [apa.org/videos]), an updated video on Rollo Mays life and work (see Rollo May on Existential Psychotherapy at psychotherapy.net), new developments in training (see ehinstitute.org), and new feature articles about the influence of existential therapy on other therapeutic modalities (see Price, 2011, November and the New Existentialists website- http://www.newexistentialists.com/posts/07-05-11). Indeed, the convergence of these developments has moved leading psychotherapy researcher Bruce Wampold to suggest that an understanding of the principles of existential therapy is needed by all therapists, as it adds a perspective that mightform the basis of all effective treatments (Wampold, 2008, p. 6). In the world at large, we also see increasing interest in existential-integrative (EI) and existential-humanistic (E-H) approaches to therapy. For example, the ExistentialHumanistic Institute (EHI) and the International Institute for Humanistic Studies (IIHS), both in the San Francisco Bay Area, are helping to facilitate EH/EI practices to a growing regional and worldwide audience. Among the countries benefiting from trainings by these institutes (or their instructors) are Russia, Lithuania, Poland, Japan, and China (the first major U.S-China existential therapy conference took place in April, 2010, and the second is to take place in May of 2012). Younger EH/EI theorists, such as Louis Hoffman, Brent Dean Robbins, and Shawn Rubin, have been actively introducing students to the new EH/EI practice philosophies, and women, such as Orah Krug, the late Elizabeth Bugental, and Myrtle Heery, have been advancing a new feminist sensibility in EH/EI theory and practice. But the introduction of the EI approach to practice is not the only notable feature of this text. Less publicized but equally important are the three theory chapters in this text dealing with the existential movement as a whole. Many students and faculty have conveyed their appreciation for these chapters, which are unfortunately missing from subsequent existentially oriented volumes. These chapters include the literary, the philosophical, and the psychological roots of existential psychology, and they comprise some of the classic writings in the movement. No less important are the classic case studies in this volume not included elsewhere, such as A Depressed Artist: The Case of Amanda by Chris Armstrong and James Bugental, Dialogical (Buberian) Therapy: The Case of Dawn, by Maurice Friedman, An Obsessive-Compulsive Male: The Case of Ron by Ed Mendelowitz, An Existential-Spiritual Perspective: The Case of Sarah by Paul Bowman, and Psychotic Clients, Laings Treatment Philosophyand The Case of Jerome by Michael Guy Thompson. In short, there is no end to which EH and EI practice philosophies are being applied today, and the surge of energy around this perspective is contagious. (See Hoffman, Yang, Kakluaskas, & Chan, 2009 and Hoffman, Stewart, Warren, & Meek, 2009 for comprehensive overviews of existential psychologys diverse and growing influence). I know that Rollo would be extremely gratified by what has blossomed since the inception of our 1995 text. References Barnett, L. & Madison, G. (2012).
