Hill Author Clara Hill analyzes various theoretical approaches to meaning-in-life (MIL), and provides clear, practical guidance on how to incorporate MIL as a construct and focus in therapy. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In this groundbreaking book, author Clara Hill analyzes various theoretical approaches to MIL, and provides clear, practical guidance on how to incorporate MIL as a construct and focus in therapy. We all struggle to process our experiences, achievements, and failures within the context of a meaningful life. Knowing how to discuss meaning, and how to help patients find it, is a vital tool for all mental health practitioners. The concept of meaning-in-life (MIL) can help clients come to understand their lives as filled with significance and purpose. Hill weighs decades of research on MIL against her own recent work at the University of Maryland, distinguishing MIL research from other similar constructs and discussing the various sources of meaning that we all can find and apply in our daily lives. With strong case examples and hands-on reflection activities, Hill shows how therapists of all orientations can apply MIL in their practice. Author Biography Clara E.

Hill applies her considerable scholarly abilities to a profound and yet relatively unexplored therapeutic issue. The book that has emerged — on meaning in life — is something that all clinicians, in both their professional and personal lives, will appreciate greatly. -- Barry A. Farber, PhD, Program in Clinical Psychology, Teachers College, Columbia University, New York, NYExistential anxiety is an inevitable aspect of the human experience because of the brevity and fragility of life; it is only natural that we wrestle with such questions as how to make the best use of our time on earth. It takes someone with Hills extensive experience in counseling psychology to write an authoritative guide useful for existential competency training for all psychotherapists and psychologists. -- Paul T.
