Here are the details of some of my publications.
Books:
Barnett, L.(2023) The Heart of Therapy: developing compassion, understanding and boundaries London: Routledge ‘ This is a wise and beautiful book. Like some of the best writers
in the existential humanistic tradition (Carl Rogers, R.D. Laing, Irvin Yalom, Ernesto Spinelli), Laura Barnett has a talent
for making therapy and phislophical theory understandable to everyone without sacrificing complexity and depth. She adds to
this tradition a very precise consideration of the body and transgenerational issues - and the importance of instilling hope.
Holding theory lightly and combining a very distinct personal voice with compelling vignettes, she invites
us to confront the mystery of being human.’ Betty Cannon, PhD, author of Sartre and Psychoanalysis and founder
of Applied Existential Psychotherapy.
Barnett, L. (ed.) (2009) When Death Enters The Therapeutic Space, Existential Perspectives in Psychotherapy and Counselling,
London: Routledge.
An initial chapter developing the philosophical roots of existential therapy is
followed by 11 clinical chapters with case vignettes throughout. Topics include: working with life-threatening illness,
end of life issues, suicide, bereavement, survivors of torture, and the 7/7 London bombings.
'This
fine book should be read by all students and practitioners of existential approaches to therapy and also by therapists of
all orientations...' Dr Nick Kirkland-Handley, JSEA 21.1 (2010)
'I would recommend this book to
any practitioner at any level of experience and of any orientation...' Dr Simone Lee, JSEA 21.1 (2010)
