Abstract

Psychological problems are the expression of existential conflicts, sometimes masked by symptoms. However, some of them frequently rise to the surface explicitly. This article includes some bits of dialogue where patients develop their own thoughts and feelings on issues such as the meaning of life, loneliness, existential vacuum or the integration of death among others.
