<strong>What does it mean to approach psychotherapy in a philosophical way? The aim of this salon is to talk through that question in a principled and imaginative way. Join Boston-based psychotherapist and philosopher <a href="http://www.jmaier.net/">John T. Maier</a>.</strong>

This salon will specifically address the ways in which philosophy may be brought to bear on therapeutic practice:

• Is there a place for philosophy in therapy, or are these simply distinct enterprises?

• Is psychoanalysis a philosophy?

• What do we think of the project of "philosophical counseling"?

• What are the philosophical roots of behavioral therapies (such as CBT/DBT/ACT)?
