Rimantas Kociunas is an existential therapist, professor, and doctor of psychology, director of the Institute of Humanistic and Existential Psychotherapy (HEPI). Students often call Rimantas the father of existential psychology in Lithuania and one of the most prominent advocates of this paradigm in Eastern Europe. Since the very beginning of the Institute in 1995, about 1500 students from various countries and even continents have studied there, but Prof. Kociunas recalls everyone by name and never misses their birthdays sending a postcard with greetings.
