Dasein analysis

a method of existential psychotherapy emphasizing the need to recognize not only one’s being-in-the-world but also what one can become (see Dasein). Through examination of such concepts as intentionality and intuition, Dasein analysis attempts to help clients to accept themselves and realize their potential rather than adapt themselves to others’ expectations. [developed by Swiss psychiatrist Medard Boss (1903–1990)]
