Sparkle of Existential Time as a Sanctuary in Marital Counselling

Wissenschaftlicher Aufsatz , 2011 , 5 Seiten

Psychologie - Beratung und Therapie

Nowadays, Existential thought is considered to be a practical approach among psychologists and
counsellors . Nevertheless, what seems to be ignored is paying thoughtful attention to all dimensions of Existential
thought which is an essential matter among counsellors and psychologists. Moreover, some issues in Existential
thought such as time are disregarded among marital counsellors as well as individual counsellors. The goal of this
article is to allocate exhausting existential time to benefit marital counsellors. Findings show that existential time has
full potential to be applied for marital counselling. Furthermore, review of the related literature demonstrates that
there is not enough experimental and descriptive research to evaluate the effect of existential time on matrimony.
