Experientialism: Integrating Mind & Body, Spirit & Matter, the Many & the One is a concise introduction to a new philosophy that continues and transforms the tradition established by phenomenologists and hermeneuticists like Husserl, Heidegger, Sartre, Gadamer, and Habermas without much of the philosophical abstraction that tends to characterize these areas of philosophy. Experientialism, as a philosophy, maintains that reality is equal to experience when "experience" is defined as a necessary combination of cognition, affect, behavior, sensation, environment and the "I." In this ontology,...

As such, most psychotherapies today involve a...

Hampton, a philanderer, had always wanted to marry a "woman of means," i.e. someone who was not only financially well off but motivated to stay that way. He not only wanted financial independence afforded him by a woman (which he never received), he also wanted his "world" to be free from the "unclean and unholy" (which it never was). Instead of marrying a woman of means, he married a nice but unstable woman, Elizabeth, who works...
