Darren Langdridge is Professor of Psychology at the Open University (UK), and a UKCP accredited existential psychotherapist and logotherapist working in private practice. He was intrigued by existentialism as a child but became truly fascinated with phenomenology many years ago when introduced to the work of Maurice Merleau-Ponty by a dear colleague and friend, Dr Trevor Butt, who is sadly no longer with us. This led to a lifelong love of phenomenology, existentialism and hermeneutics. For many years, Darren has researched and written on sexualities, critical theory, psychotherapy, and health, publishing numerous books, papers and book chapters. Never one to accept unnecessary boundaries, Darren continues to work across disciplines, notably psychology, health, sociology, and politics. His most recent book is Sexual Citizenship and Social Change: A Dialectical Approach to Narratives of Tradition and Critique, published by Oxford University Press.
