What is Existential Analysis?

The aim of Existential Analysis: to help each person find a way of living to which s/he can give his/her inner consent to his/her own actions ("affirmation of life"). In short, to find and live out an inner 'yes' to one's life.

Definition

Existential Analysis can be defined as a phenomenological and person-oriented psychotherapy, with the aim of leading the person to (mentally and emotionally) free experiences, to facilitate authentic decisions and to bring about a truly responsible way of dealing with life and the world. Thus, Existential Analysis can be applied in cases of psychosocial, psychosomatic and psychological caused disorder in experience and behaviour.
