Philotherapy: An Integration of Psychotherapy

By Aleksandar Fatic

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.
