“East of Eden – An Existential View of the Pandemic”

I have the hon­our of being rep­re­sent­ed with my text “East of Eden – An Exis­ten­tial View of the Pan­dem­ic” in “Exis­ten­tial­ism in Pan­dem­ic Times: Impli­ca­tions for Psy­chother­a­pists, Coach­es and Organ­i­sa­tions”, edit­ed by Mon­i­ca Han­away, GB.

Build­ing on Mon­i­ca Hanaway’s pre­vi­ous pub­li­ca­tions, this time­ly vol­ume con­sid­ers the ben­e­fits of bring­ing an exis­ten­tial approach to psy­chother­a­py, coach­ing, super­vi­sion and lead­er­ship, par­tic­u­lar­ly in times of crisis.

The book uses an exis­ten­tial lens to exam­ine the impact Covid-19 has had on our men­tal health and ways of being, mak­ing con­nec­tions between sit­u­a­tions that chal­lenge our men­tal resources and the unique ways exis­ten­tial ideas can address those chal­lenges. Fea­tur­ing con­tri­bu­tions from renowned exis­ten­tial thinkers and prac­ti­tion­ers, the book con­nects per­son­al expe­ri­ences with clin­i­cal exam­ples and philo­soph­ic ideas to explore con­cepts like anx­i­ety, relat­ed­ness and uncer­tain­ty as they relate to key exis­ten­tial themes, help­ing to inform coach­es and ther­a­pists in their work with clients.

Exis­ten­tial­ism in Pan­dem­ic Times is impor­tant read­ing for coach­es, ther­a­pists, psy­chol­o­gists and busi­ness lead­ers, as well as for schol­ars and researchers inter­est­ed in applied philosophy.
