Concepts and Principles
What Is Existentialism?
• Existentialism: philosophy that focuses
on people’s attempts to make sense of
their existence
• People assign meaning to life and take
responsibility for their actions as they try
to live in accordance with their chosen
values
• Dasein: a person exists in a particular
place at a particular time
• A person can be conscious of, and
responsible for, his or her existence, and
can therefore choose the direction his or
her life will take
Concepts and Principles
What Is Existentialism?
• Being: developmental process whereby
the individual seeks to realize his or her
unique set of potentials
• Ontology: branch of philosophy
that seeks to understand the nature
of being
• May disapproved of the
existentialists’ use of the term
“being” because it connotes a
substance that is static and
unchanging
• He preferred the term becoming:
process in which we ourselves are the
source of change, as we struggle as
individuals to realize our potential
Concepts and Principles
Existentialism and Psychoanalysis
• Existential-analytic perspective:
theoretical approach to understanding
human personality that combines
elements of existential philosophy with
Freudian concepts
• Three modes of being-in-the-world:
1. Umwelt: biological or natural
environment in which human
beings exist
2. Mitwelt: world of
interrelationships
3. Eigenwelt: unique presence in
human beings of self-awareness
and self-relatedness

Unhealthy communal
ORIENTATION
Living in an age of
transition makes us
question our values
and goals.
Disintegration leads
to negative
consequences.
Feelings of anxiety
stem from loneliness
and emptiness.
Anxiety signals an
internal conflict.
Concepts and Principles
The Expansion of Consciousness
• The more
conscious of
our being we
are, the more
spontaneous
and creative
we will be
• Allows us
to be more
capable of
choosing
our plans
and
reaching
our goals
Concepts and Principles
Personality Development
Innocence: no consciousness of self
Rebellion: we seek to establish our inner
strength
Ordinary consciousness of self: some
awareness of prejudices and limitations
Creative consciousness of self: transcendence
of the usual or ordinary limits of consciousness
Concepts and Principles
Assessment Techniques
• No primary focus on techniques; focus
instead on the person's attitudes, the
special meanings of his or her existence
We are being imprisoned in a huge theatre.
We walk on a bare stage while some people
(perhaps our audience) are watching us and
anticipating a good performance. We tend to
create an ACT that somehow will cloak our
true nature for we want them to be engaged
and satisfied in this pretentious PLAY. We
act as dictated by the script-the blueprint of
lies and fail to foresee that we're becoming
strangers to ourselves.
The most fearful eyes
Are not embedded in any wild beast’s skull
Nor Medusa’s face
But on a mirror’s gaze.
A chance to glance ourselves
And admit our mistakes.

  • 5. Concepts and Principles What Is Existentialism? • Existentialism: philosophy that focuses on people’s attempts to make sense of their existence • People assign meaning to life and take responsibility for their actions as they try to live in accordance with their chosen values • Dasein: a person exists in a particular place at a particular time • A person can be conscious of, and responsible for, his or her existence, and can therefore choose the direction his or her life will take
  • 6. Concepts and Principles What Is Existentialism? • Being: developmental process whereby the individual seeks to realize his or her unique set of potentials • Ontology: branch of philosophy that seeks to understand the nature of being • May disapproved of the existentialists’ use of the term “being” because it connotes a substance that is static and unchanging • He preferred the term becoming: process in which we ourselves are the source of change, as we struggle as individuals to realize our potential
  • 7. Concepts and Principles Existentialism and Psychoanalysis • Existential-analytic perspective: theoretical approach to understanding human personality that combines elements of existential philosophy with Freudian concepts • Three modes of being-in-the-world: 1. Umwelt: biological or natural environment in which human beings exist 2. Mitwelt: world of interrelationships 3. Eigenwelt: unique presence in human beings of self-awareness and self-relatedness
  • 9. Concepts and Principles Values Disintegration in Modern Society and the Loss of Our Moral Compass Healthy INDIVIDUALISM Unhealthy INDIVIDUALISM The Emergence of Anxiety Normal ANXIETY Neurotic ANXIETY Emptiness and Loneliness Healthy communal ORIENTATION Unhealthy communal ORIENTATION Living in an age of transition makes us question our values and goals. Disintegration leads to negative consequences. Feelings of anxiety stem from loneliness and emptiness. Anxiety signals an internal conflict.
  • 10. Concepts and Principles The Expansion of Consciousness • The more conscious of our being we are, the more spontaneous and creative we will be • Allows us to be more capable of choosing our plans and reaching our goals
  • 11. Concepts and Principles Personality Development Innocence: no consciousness of self Rebellion: we seek to establish our inner strength Ordinary consciousness of self: some awareness of prejudices and limitations Creative consciousness of self: transcendence of the usual or ordinary limits of consciousness
  • 12. Concepts and Principles Assessment Techniques • No primary focus on techniques; focus instead on the person's attitudes, the special meanings of his or her existence
  • 13. We are being imprisoned in a huge theatre. We walk on a bare stage while some people (perhaps our audience) are watching us and anticipating a good performance. We tend to create an ACT that somehow will cloak our true nature for we want them to be engaged and satisfied in this pretentious PLAY. We act as dictated by the script-the blueprint of lies and fail to foresee that we're becoming strangers to ourselves. The most fearful eyes Are not embedded in any wild beast’s skull Nor Medusa’s face But on a mirror’s gaze. A chance to glance ourselves And admit our mistakes.
