Philotherapy : An Integration of Psychotherapy

Philotherapy: An Integration of Psychotherapy introduces the perspective of philosophical counseling as a methodologically over-arching discipline for all psychotherapy.

Aleksandar Fatic discusses its specific interventions-and above all its focus on modal logic as opposed to the customary psychotherapeutic focus on syllogistic, Aristotelian logic-to demonstrate its integrative methodology and capacity to serve as a disciplinary home for all psychotherapy.

The book addresses the key generic psychotherapeutic problems that often present in therapy from a philotherapeutic perspective, including trauma, attachment issues, and fear.

It also connects a philosophical understanding of mental disorders with specific psychoanalytic receptions of psychosis and neurosis that have become firmly entrenched in modern psychiatry and psychotherapy.
