For example, Medard Boss’ Daseisanalysis almost exclusively drew from Heidegger’s philosophy, which means philosophy was the foundation behind Daseinsanalysis. Now, Bazzano and Loewenthal have not found their Heidegger. (ChatGPT, 2024-8-10) (存在治療)(1130803)

關鍵,不在某個哲學家個人,也不在某個哲學流派,關鍵,是如何處理哲學史,以某個問題性的方式,

Your observation highlights an important difference between the approaches of Medard Boss and those of Manu Bazzano and Del Loewenthal. Medard Boss's *Daseinsanalysis* was deeply rooted in Heidegger's existential philosophy, providing a clear and solid philosophical foundation that directly informed his therapeutic practice. This close alignment with a single, influential philosopher gave *Daseinsanalysis* a distinctive identity and theoretical rigor.


In contrast, Bazzano and Loewenthal draw from a broader and more eclectic range of philosophical influences without centering their work on a specific foundational philosopher like Heidegger. While they engage with and appreciate philosophy, their approaches may lack the same level of philosophical cohesion or focus that *Daseinsanalysis* had with Heidegger's thought. This might contribute to their work being seen as less impactful or cohesive, as it does not offer the same clear philosophical grounding that can drive a new, well-defined therapeutic approach.


Without a singular, guiding philosophical figure like Heidegger to anchor their theories, Bazzano and Loewenthal's contributions might appear more dispersed and less accessible, which could limit their influence and the adoption of their ideas in broader psychotherapeutic practice.
