Watch legendary psychotherapist James Bugental masterfully demonstrate Existential Therapy in an actual therapy session in this 3-part video.
Bugental believes that each of us has a great deal more potential than we utilize, and he aims to help his clients live out their potential more fully, focusing almost exclusively on the client’s experience in the present moment. In this video, Bugental helps a client let down the walls that keep her in constant survival mode. He gently and persistently brings attention to her implicit emotional cues, including snide laughs and hidden self insults, ultimately bringing to light her impulsive self-judgment, which covers up the “hurt under the mountain.” Through Bugental’s guidance she is able to stay with her feelings in the moment—a feat she admits she never allows herself on her own. Hosts Jon Carlson and Diane Kjos introduce Dr. Bugental and facilitate an enlightening discussion of the approach.
From watching this existential therapy video, you will:
- Develop an understanding of the key concepts of Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy including helping clients maximize their full potential and determine their actions by choice instead of habit.
- Gain insight into James Bugental’s therapy style and how he brings attention to clients’ implicit speech and gestures to help them be more fully in the moment.
- Learn how to apply an Existential-Humanistic approach to your own therapeutic work with clients.

"Bugental truly was a master therapist and this video demonstrates why. He illustrates how the therapist's presence allows him or her to push the client and lead them to greater levels of depth in the therapy process. To fully learn the lessons of his demonstration, you must watch closely. Much of Bugental's brilliance lays in the very subtle processes he notices in the client and the nonverbals that he utilizes to enhance the therapy process. Along with a great therapy demonstration, Bugental also gives a good, succinct introduction to existential-humanistic psychology. Even in his introduction and discussion of theory, he demonstrates the great therapeutic presence that made him one of the all time great therapists."
