Acknowledgements
It takes more than just the author to make a book. I would like to start by thanking my partner, Sónia. For everything. For her real and special support which enabled me to see this project through. For her patience and friendship, for sharing with me the unfathomable paths of existence. This book is also the result of a personal and professional journey on which I have travelled with many people who mean a lot to me. I wish to thank my friends and colleagues Edgar Correia, José Carvalho Teixeira, Paula Ponce Leão and Victor Amorim Rodrigues, with whom I have had the please of developing the existential psychotherapy project in Portugal.

Simon Duplock and Lucia Moja who have played an important role in sharing their wisdom. Amedeo Giorgi is someone to whom I will always be grateful, for the human w
