The Transformation of Meaning in Psychological Therapies: Integrating Theory and Practice

Psychotherapy theory and practice are often viewed as divergent and fragmented, with clinicians often critical of the relevance of theory to the reality of practice. This book unifies theory and practice by focusing on the role of meaning in both modern psychological theory and in the practice of therapy. It explores a range of psychological influences on meaning and examines the impact that significant events and psychological disorders can have on an individual’s sense of meaning.
