If you’re an educator developing or updating a course, an important—and often challenging—aspect of your preparation is to find a quality textbook to use.

Fortunately, the ISSEP Task Force for Pedagogical Advancement has helped to identify trends and make recommendations for teaching and learning the science of existential psychology. The task force queried some of the leading experts, and is also actively calling for instructors and students to recommend textbooks that either focus on or substantially incorporate the science of existential psychology.

The following are recommended textbooks that communicate or incorporate at least some aspect of the science of existential psychology.

To recommend a textbook, or to send in comments about one, please send an email to info@issep.org with the subject line “Textbook recommendation.”
