Some of Emmy's other lectures:

She has described her approach to existential psychotherapy in Existential Psychotherapy and Counselling in Practice, and puts it into the context of other existential approaches in her chapter in Individual Psychotherapy in the UK. She lectures regularly on this topic, too, and you can find her recent talk to Danish psychologists in Viejle Fjord, Denmark, here.

As well as being a practising psychologist and psychotherapists, Emmy has remained committed to her first professional training, as a philosopher. Look at Paradox and Passion and Everyday Mysteries. Like many other existentially-influenced philosophers before her, she has been concerned about what constitutes a good life. Look a lecture on his subject here.
