“Dr. Klein's book, Rethinking Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Existential Therapy, is much needed and will be tremendously helpful to today’s students. It provides a unique model for understanding how a philosophical perspective on psychology directly relates to clinical work. The vignettes and examples beautifully illustrate the ideas.”
Glen L. Sherman, Ph.D., Associate Professor and Chair, Department of Psychology, Saint Elizabeth University
“Psychotherapy can be likened to applied philosophy. In Rethinking Cognitive Behavioral, Psychodynamic, and Existential Therapy, Dr. Klein does more than that—he vividly and eloquently demonstrates it. With a sweeping command of schools of psychotherapy, intellectual history, and philosophy, he creates a rich and cohesive tapestry for understanding psychotherapy.”
