Journal

The aim of Existential Analysis, the journal of the Society for Existential Analysis, is to provide a forum for the expression of views and the exchange of ideas amongst those interested in existential-phenomenological analysis and its application to therapeutic practice and everyday life.

Existential Analysis is edited by Prof Simon du Plock & Dr Martin Adams. They can be contacted at journal@existentialanalysis.org.uk. In addition to our international Editorial Board, the journal also operates a Reader Panel, all of whom are well-established Existential therapists, psychologists and philosophers with expertise in various areas of existential-phenomenological theory and practice. The Reader Panel contributes to the peer review process for publications and journal submissions.

Printed Hard copies of Existential Analysis are sent to current members each time there is a new edition and are available via this site until they run out. No further copies are printed after the initial print run.

Printed hard copies cost £12 for SEA Members while they are logged into their account and £17 for non-members.
