Projective Techniques in Dealing with Existential Frustration

Abstract

A modern man is in conditions in which their basic needs are fulfilled, therefore the aspirations of the individual are more aimed at finding the meaning of life and happiness. In transitional periods of society, in times of crisis, there is a situation where old meanings are lost and there is a need to search for new ones. More and more people are faced with the task of finding their meaning and understanding what is needed to feel satisfied with life. These reflections are among the existential. The article analyzes the term life satisfaction and explores the concepts of existential crisis and existential frustration. The practical part describes one of the projective techniques (fairytale therapy) as a tool for working with existential difficulties.
