The Risk of Encounter
-
Narrated by:

Written by:
In 1970, Philip Guston walked away from twenty years as a successful artist and showed a body of work no one was expecting.
This episode is about what Guston risked, and what therapy risks when it focuses on predictable outcomes. Heidegger called it das Man — the "they-self," where we hand our agency to the collective to avoid the weight of choosing. Manualized therapies like CBT do something similar: a known process, a predictable outcome, a way around the unknown. But what they miss is what makes life worth living.
The Existential Lens is hosted by Evan Kaufman, a psychotherapist in Eugene, Oregon, working with individuals and couples from an existential-humanistic perspective. More at evankaufman.org.
