This book achieves what it sets out to do: "to introduce readers to the rich tapestry of existential therapeutic approaches". I found it concise and easy to read, despite the fact that it deals with some fairly complex ideas. I found much in Mick Cooper's book of interest and have found myself using some of the therapeutic interventions he describes, with my own clients.
