Abstract: | This paper calls for a recognition of existential issues in family therapy. It begins by noting the importance of "big questions" to families, reviews the roots of existential philosophy and existential therapy, offers an example of the usefulness of connecting existential thought to the family field by discussing differentiation/ fusion from an existential perspective, and offers guidelines for clinical application. |
