Abstract

This paper reports one theme – Expression of Identity – which emerged
from a larger qualitative study. It suggests that existential philosophy
offers an insight into the human condition which therapists incorporate
into their world view and that choosing to be an existential therapist is a
choice involving passion and commitment.
