Meaning in Life
An Evidence-Based Handbook for Practitioners
Introduction
This inspiring, insightful new text provides a practical guide to helping clients live a meaningful and satisfying life despite the challenges they may be facing.
Part One: Theoretical Foundations
Divided into three parts, it starts by drawing on empirical research to demonstrate the effectiveness of meaning-oriented practice and reviews a large body of literature on meaning in a wide-range of psychological and philosophical approaches, translating this into specific recommendations for practitioners.
Part Two: Essential Skills
It continues by exploring the basic skill set required for working effectively in this area – from how to assess clients' needs and address issues of meaning, to specific existential, phenomenological and mindfulness skills.
Part Three: Practical Application
Finally, it provides a step guide to applying the skills to clinical practice with the support of examples and case studies from a range of professions.
Conclusion
In what is still an emerging area of practice, this text stands alone as a comprehensive source of reference for both students and practitioners across the full range of people professions.
