BACKGROUND: Existential concerns such as meaninglessness, isolation, freedom, responsibility, and death anxiety represent core dimensions of human suffering and may underlie chronic psychological distress, particularly in patients with personality pathology. Although schema therapy implicitly addresses such themes, their systematic integration has remained conceptually underdeveloped.
METHODS: This paper presents a narrative review and theoretical synthesis of schema therapy and existential psychotherapy, including existential analysis and logotherapy. Relevant literature was identified through searches of PubMed, PsycINFO, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. Theoretical integration was complemented by de-identified composite clinical vignettes derived from accumulated clinical experience.
RESULTS: The paper introduces an existentially informed schema therapy framework in which existential concerns are conceptualized as interacting with early maladaptive schemas and schema modes, while the clinical illustrations demonstrate how existential reflection may be incorporated into standard schema therapy interventions.
CONCLUSION: Schema therapy with an existential dimension offers a coherent conceptual framework and a clinically promising direction for addressing existential suffering in patients with complex psychological disorders. Integrating existential perspectives may deepen meaning-making, strengthen the Healthy Adult mode, and support identity integration and more authentic engagement with life. Future empirical research is needed to evaluate its clinical effectiveness and mechanisms of change.
