The Society for Existential Medicine offers a forum for contributions and an expanding range of resources for all those devoted to challenging the medical model of health and illness from an existential, phenomenological, hermeneutic, biographical, psychoanalytic, holistic, relational, social and spiritual perspective.

Its aim is also to challenge the almost wholly unquestioned institutional separation between professional training and practice in ‘psychotherapy’ on the one hand (including 'existential' psychotherapy) and training in 'somatic medicine' on the other.

It will do so through sharing and contributing to the current evolution of new forms of existential-analytic, awareness-based, phenomenological and meaning-oriented approaches to illness that are relevant to healthcare in all its dimensions, both on an individual, social and global level.

Contributions are welcome in the form of comments, articles, further links, additions to our bibliography of literature - and case studies in the practice of counselling and therapy for medical patients, including the dying.

To join and contribute to the work of the Society, use the Contact Form or write to Peter Wilberg [pwilberg76@gmail.com] including links to any sites or articles you may wish to share.
