Existential Experimentation: From being and doing to an approach that addresses the theme of ‘insider and outsider’

Abstract

This paper articulates how an existential-phenomenologically informed intervention fits within a primary care setting in the United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS). It focuses on how a measurable notion of change in the form of client-determined goals and Repertory Grid Technique (RGT) can be integrated in a way that does not compromise existential-phenomenological values and principles. A case study is cited to help demonstrate this way of working.
