[Preliminary comments on existential analytic psychosomatic medicine].
Existential analysis as a personal and meaning orientated psychotherapy describes a person in the performance of its existence. The anthropological and therapeutic concept of the existential analysis are presented in essential points (intentionality, self-transcendence, will to meaning, ability of self-detachment, corporability and responsibility) as a way of approach and interpretation. Psychosomatic illness is understood as a mode of personal existence. The integral "gestalt" of a person in its subjectivity, biography and corporality is reflected on with regard to its abilities and revealing of individual possibilities of meaning. The under determination of psychosomatic phenomena shows itself as an expression of a person's relative freedom to decide about its own development.
