Emmy van Deurzen
from The Essay Hosted by BBC Radio 3
In this final essay, psychotherapist Emmy Van Deurzen reflects on how existentialist philosophy has shaped her life and work. She grew up in the Netherlands, but went as a student to France, where she read philosophy and later studied psychotherapy. Her work in the two fields led her to want to follow an existentialist path- to pursue a form of therapy which was rooted in philosophy. She now lives and teaches in England, where she works with clients on using moments of crisis in their lives for positive action. Producer: Emma Kingsley The Existential Me was first broadcast in November 2013 to mark the centenary of the birth of Albert Camus.
