Modal Integrative Psychotherapy

“Modal Integrative Psychotherapy offers a thoughtful and conceptually rich exploration of psychotherapy through a philosophical lens. By drawing on modal logic, linguistic pragmatics, and theories of motivation and trauma, the book proposes an original framework for understanding the therapeutic process as a dynamic expansion of the client's modal horizon. Rather than focusing narrowly on symptom management, it invites reflection on the structures of meaning, agency, and possibility that shape experience. The integration of philosophical reasoning with clinical practice is both careful and innovative, making this volume a valuable contribution for practitioners and scholars interested in the intersections between psychotherapy, language, and lived subjectivity.”

The book addresses the growing interconnectedness between philosophical counseling and traditional psychotherapy. It explores the organic links between core philosophical concepts and theories, and the corresponding problems and theories in psychotherapy. Aleksandar Fatic focuses on the use of modal logic as a foundation for psychotherapy within the proposed Modal Integrative Psychotherapy model. The book functions both as a research work and a manual for the development and application of integrative psychotherapy, viewed through the lens of philosophical counseling and the exploration of the logical underpinnings of psychotherapy as its conceptual foundation.

Aleksandar Fatic is Professor of Philosophy at the Institute for Philosophy and Social Theory, University of Belgrade, Serbia.
