The Psychosis of Existential Training: Towards an inclusive and equitable therapeutic practice

Abstract

This paper calls for decolonising existential psychotherapy by integrating Black existentialist thought. Challenging Eurocentric frameworks and epistemological bias, it repositions Black narratives as central to understanding human existence. Drawing on Fanon, hooks and Gordon, it promotes intersectional, anti-racist training that restores existential practice as a universal, inclusive approach to freedom, meaning and cultural identity.
