Abstract

According to existentialism, human nature is best described as being in constant change. Humans are always evolving and recreating themselves through their projects. Through asking questions in an effort to make sense of their existence, humans develop in six dimensions: the capacity for self-awareness; freedom and responsibility; creating one's identity and establishing meaningful relationship with others; the search for meaning, purpose, values, and goals; anxiety as a condition of living; and awareness of death and non-being. Therapeutic goals in existential therapy focus on assisting the client to realize their potential through accepting the freedom and responsibility to act that comes with being human, which will lead to their being able to live a more authentic life. This is accomplished by challenging a client's rigid habits to increase his or her sense of autonomy.
