This presentation will be a discussion of existential psychotherapy and of group psychotherapy drawing especially from Yalom's new teaching novel, The Schopenhauer Cure. Dr. Yalom will discuss: the therapist/client relationship from an existential therapy perspective; the practice of existentially oriented psychotherapy using recent clinical cases; the impact of death awareness on the conduct of life; the technique of the group therapist; the selection and preparation of group patients; the relevance of philosophy for therapy; and the case for and against clinical philosophy. Dr. Yalom will sign books after his presentation in the Arena Lobby.

Dr. Glasser will explain that there is such as entity as mental health and will define it in such a way that it is completely separated from what is now called mental illness and collected in the DSM-IV. He believes that by using Choice Theory, clients can be taught how to improve their own mental health. By doing this the medical model is no longer needed and should be replaced by a public health model.
