A person is an emotionally sensitive creature who, as strong as he is, always needs moral support and psychological help. In modern times, there are various teachings that try to prevent a person from being completely isolated from the world and from getting rid of the feelings of sadness and hopelessness that dominate him. Among them, existential psychoanalysis occupies one of the leading places. I. Yalom, one of the well-known representatives of neo-Freudianism, is currently one of the brightest figures in this direction. His existential-humanist ideas are reflected in his fundamental scientific and popular works as well as in his literary heritage.
