Existential therapy is based on
developing a client’s insight, or self-understanding,
and focuses on problems of living such as choice,
meaning, responsibility, and death. This therapeutic
approach emphasizes “free will,” the ability to make
choices that are not dictated by heredity or past
conditioning, through which an individual can become the
person that he or she wants to be. Existential therapy
attempts to restore meaning to life so that the client
is inspired to have the courage to make choices that are
both rewarding and socially constructive.
