This paper is the result of an exchange between the four authors that took place during a panel discussion. At the 9th World Congress of Cognitive and Behavioral Therapies (WCBCT) in Berlin in July 2019. The congress theme “CBT at the crossroads” allowed the authors to explore the potential of CBT’s encounters with existential themes and therapies as well as define the challenges of this encounter more clearly. While all four authors have a background in CBT, they share a long-term interest—and some are also formally trained—in existential psychotherapy.
The relationship between CBT and existential. Issues was the main theme of the panel discussion that also focused on issues. Such as the role of death anxiety in mental disorders (and its implications for CBT) and the potential role of existential concerns for CBT training and supervision.
Following the exchange in the WCBCT panel discussion, we will explore some of the issues in more detail. Starting with the role of existential concerns (death, freedom, meaninglessness, and isolation) as formulated by Yalom (1980) and a general outline of existential phenomenology (Spinelli 2015), we will explore the potential of death as an existential approach for the understanding and treatment of psychopathology and will further explore the potential role of existential phenomenology for the development of therapists as well as supervision.
