In cases of existential problems, it is essential to work on the client's life goals in therapy or counseling and to follow up with a planning of these goals. However, it is also necessary for the professional helpers to engage fundamentally with life philosophical questions. Harlich H. Stavemann demonstrates how therapists and counselors can be helpful in answering life philosophical questions for their clients and can non-directively support the self-responsible determination of life goals and meaning. Initially, the individual steps in life goal analysis and planning are presented, along with helpful tips for conducting conversations on sensitive topics (Socratic dialogue). In a concluding chapter, there are detailed case studies and example dialogues. The worksheets are available for download online.
