Recenzii
The unique and fascinating angle of a Taoist approach to existential-humanistic psychology/psychotherapy; the superb list of in a number of cases luminary writers; the eloquence and beauty of the writing/philosophy....I think the book brings a fresh--and needed--perspective on the relevance of Taoist philosophy to our hasty and “quick fix” oriented psychological and religious/spiritual culture.—Kirk Schneider, President, Division 32 (Humanistic Psychology) of the APA.
This volume is comprehensive and well organized. It is the only volume of its kind that I know of that focuses particularly on the writings of the Taoist master Zhuangzi (or for that matter, the originator, Lao Tzu) from an existential-humanistic point of view. It also has many intriguing practical applications as well as relevance to the latest psychotherapy outcome research.--Meili Pinto, PhD, California Institute of Integral Studies
“In ways not unlike Alan Watts' Psychotherapy East and West, this diverse collection of essays, expertly edited by Dr. Yang, demonstrates the inherent philosophical intersection existing between ancient Taoism and the improvisational practice of contemporary existential therapy, offering an alternative view of how clinicians can more creatively and effectively encourage clients or patients to find their own way in life. The philosophically informed clinical wisdom of existential therapy, like the profound spiritual wisdom of Taoism, provides a timely, much-needed corrective counterbalance to the alarmingly lopsided and dangerous trend in psychotherapy today.”—Stephen A. Diamond, PhD, author, Anger, Madness, and the Daimonic: The Psychological Genesis of Violence, Evil, and Creativity
“This remarkable book applies the wisdom of two Chinese sages to contemporary psychotherapy, especially existentially-oriented approaches. The result is an original synthesis that spans time and place to provide novel perspectives that will enrich the therapeutic encounter and enhance its effectiveness.”—Stanley Krippner, PhD, professor of psychology, Saybrook University
“In today’s rapidly interconnected world, it is essential that scholars try to understand and learn from each other’s cultures. In Existential Psychology and the Way of the Tao: Meditations on the Writings of Zhuangzi, psychologist Mark Yang has done just that. As a dual resident of both China and the United States, Dr. Yang is able to relate Western existential psychology to Taoist concepts, and translate this understanding into clear clinical applications. His respect for ancient indigenous philosophies aligned with Western psychology makes a valuable contribution to the international practice of psychology.”—Ilene A. Serlin, PhD, BC-DMT, fellow, past-president, Society for Humanistic Studies of the American Psychological Association; associated distinguished professor of integral and transpersonal psychology, California Institute of Integral Studies; editorial board, The Humanistic Psychologist and the Journal of Humanistic Psychology

Descriere
In ancient China, a revered Taoist sage named Zhuangzi told many parables. In Existential Psychology and the Way of the Tao, a selection of these parables will be featured. Following each parables, an eminent existential psychologist will share a personal and scholarly reflection on the meaning and relevance of the parable for psychotherapy and contemporary life.
