The Existential Vacuum

The existential vacuum manifests itself mainly in a state of boredom. Such widespread phenomena as depression, aggression and addiction are not understandable unless we recognize the existential vacuum underlying them. In such patients, what we have to deal with is not a neugenic neurosis. We will never succeed in having the patient overcome his condition if we have not supplemented the psycho therapeutic treatment with logo therapy. By filling the existential vacuum, the patient will be prevented from suffering further relapses.
