Existential-Humanistic Psychotherapy
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 an African-American 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.

"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."
- Louis Hoffman, PhD, Core Faculty, University of the Rockies; Author, Existential Psychology East-West

 
I have always liked James Bugental as a person. This DVD reminded me of why. He treated people with amazing compassion, insight, and intentional, implied kindness. His wisdom and dedication to helping others improve came through in the intensity of his attention that indicated: You are important...I recommend this DVD for the way it will touch your heart; for how it will encourage you to be a better person; and because it teaches important aspects of Existential-Humanistic therapy that you might have forgotten.
 - John D. Lentz, D.Min., Reviewed in the Erickson Foundation Newsletter.

This two-hour video is a comprehensive overview of Bugental’s skilful, respectful approach to therapy...the layers of Gina were skilfully unwrapped, and an authentic Gina was revealed—even to herself—as connected, self-aware and vibrantly alive...This video will appeal to anyone who takes to heart Rollo May’s words: “Let us ever hold fast to what it means to be human.”
