ABSTRACT
We can draw one important lesson from these philosophers’ observations of the human condition. If we want to fully understand human existence we should not limit ourselves to the study of psychology. The unexplored continent that we need to get familiar with is not primarily that of the human psyche, but that of life and human living. It may not always be obvious how the theoretical considerations of these philosophers are directly relevant to the practice of psychotherapy, but their thoughts are clearly related to the preoccupations that most of our clients present to us.
