Dr. Zur's consulting and psychotherapy work focus on wellness and health rather than pathology and brokenness.  Dr. Zur views illness and dis-ease as an opportunity to learn about ourselves, grow and heal. Accordingly, he emphasizes the importance of integrating body, mind and soul in the process of healing.  In his practice Dr. Zur employs a vast array of approaches and techniques, including existential, cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, developmental, psychodynamic, psycho-educational, and other approaches that may help in certain situations. Relying partly on Dr. Pelletier’s work, our definition of health is:  "Health is a life lived intentionally, morally, with acceptance of what is, with compassion, with personal meaning and connection to other people, and thoughtful attention to one’s body-mind-spirit as well as to one's community and the world."

You can learn more about Dr. Zur's ideas regarding psychotherapy, counseling, health and healing on his web page, Philosophy of Treatment, about his numerous professional accomplishments in his Curriculum Vita, and his attitudes and beliefs about health at his General Public page.
