Experience Processing as an Aspect of Existential Psychotherapy: Life Enhancement Methodology

Author: Dmitry A. Leontiev

Published in: Journal of Contemporary Psychotherapy | Issue 1/2015

Abstract

The paper presents an existential methodology of life enhancement that can be applied both in the context of an existential psychotherapy session and in a non-therapeutic setting. The prototype of life enhancement is ontogogy, conceptualized by Jim Bugental as the second stage of the psychotherapeutic process. The process, targets and outcomes of life enhancement work are discussed, as well as theoretical explanations of personality changes resulting from the progress in understanding.
