title: Heidegger for psychotherapists.
abstract: "Philosophical anthropology," and a powerful continental movement in philosophy and psychology have greatly influenced the practice of psychiatry in Europe. Martin Heidegger brought this approach to a position of prominence and wide attention and I describe his views pertinent to modern psychotherapy on (a) human living and (b) the epistemological foundation of psychiatry and psychotherapy.
