By Maria Kurz-Adam
The wisdom of psychotherapy summarizes the knowledge and insight that psychotherapeutic thinking has collected throughout its history. They deal with the fear of life and death, the experience of loss, the sense of failure and personal worthlessness. But they also know the power of our thinking, the language of our body, the power of our desires, our lifelong struggle with prohibitions and the compulsion to succeed, they know something about the beauty and price of freedom. This book for prospective psychotherapists, but also everyone interested in psychotherapy, in a journey through the forms of thought and traditions of psychotherapy, brings together a number of these wisdoms that can still be found everywhere today, where people meet in a helping relationship and can touch people in every life crisis and offer help. Some of this wisdom comes from famous psychotherapists (Sigmund Freud, Carl Rogers, Viktor Frankl, Otto Kernberg). But there is also wisdom that has been formed from many years of experience in therapy (Marie Cardinal, Thomas Melle), or that has been dedicated entirely to a specific phase of life (Margaret Mahler). Last but not least, the selection looks back on the history of psychotherapy, in which the healing power of human nature and the power of serenity were discovered (Meister Eckhart, Franz Anton Mesmer). Viktor Frankl, Otto Kernberg).
