Praise for the first edition:`This book is highly recommended to a wide range of people as a clear and systematic introduction to phenomenological psychology... the book has set the stage for possible new colloquia between the phenomenological and other approaches in psychology'- Changes`As a trainee interested in matters existential, I have been put off in the past by the long-winded and confusing texts usually available in academic libraries. Thankfully, here is a text that remedies that situation... [it] provides a readable and insightful account'- Clinical Psychology Forum'Spinelli’s classic introduction to phenomenology should be essential reading on all person-centred, existential and humanistic trainings, and any other counselling or psychotherapy course which aims to help students develop an in-depth understanding of human lived-experience. This book is sure to remain a key text for many years to come' -Mick Cooper, Senior Lecturer in Counselling, University of Strathclyde'This is by far the most monumental,  erudite,  comprehensive, authoritative case  that  Existentialism  and Phenomenology  (a)  have a rightful  place in the academy;  (b)  are tough-minded bodies of  thought;  (c)  have  rigorous scientific foundations;  (d)  bequeath a distinctive school  of psychotherapy and counselling;  and  (e)  are just as good  as the more established  systems  of psychology' -Alvin R.  Mahrer,  Ph.D.  University of Ottawa, Canada, Author of The Complete Guide To  Experiential Psychotherapy'This book’s rich insight into the lacunae of modern psychological thinking illustrates the contribution that existential phenomenology can make to founding a coherently mature Psychology that is both fully human(e) and responsibly ‘scientific’ in the best sense of that term' -Richard House, Ph.D., Magdalen Medical Practice, Norwich; Steiner Waldorf teacher.
