Abstract(s)
This study aimed to qualitatively analyze the significant events that occur during existential psychotherapy sessions from
the perspective of the patient. Ten patients completed the HAT—helpful aspects of therapy—shortly after existential psychotherapy
sessions during existential psychotherapy treatment, which lasted 1 year and consisted of 48 sessions. The data
were analyzed using grounded theory. The results emphasized the following categories: the promotion of self-awareness, the
possibility of verbalizing experiences, and the deepening of meanings. In addition to emphasizing human relationships, the
patients also emphasized a preference for interventions by existential therapists that were more directive, such as providing
feedback, challenging personal beliefs, and asking questions. The results emphasize the integrated use of the two phenomenological
methods, specifically, the static and the genetic methods.
